To Protarchos
from Achilleus son of Theon, of the deme Althaieus, and from Lyka daughter of Zoilos and of […], her mother's brother Dionysios son of Ptolemaios, and Didyme daughter of Ptolemaios, Persian of the Epigone, who stands surety for the appearance of both Lyka and Dionysios, being mother of Lyka and sister of Dionysios, with her husband Dionysios as guardian. Concerning the matters agreed between them:
Lyka and Dionysios acknowledge that they have received from Achilleus a loan, from hand to hand out of his house, of 310 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, and that they will pay interest of 8 obols per mina each month from Hathyr of the current year 26 of Caesar, and that they will repay the principal within three months from the same month without any delay; otherwise Lyka and Dionysios, or whichever of them is found, shall be liable to arrest immediately and be held in custody until they have paid the loan with an additional half, and the interest simply, and for the time overrun the 2 drachmas (per mina) according to the ordinance, the right of execution belonging to Achilleus against the debtors, who are mutual sureties for the payment, and against any one of them he chooses, and against all their property, as if by a court judgment. And if Didyme does not produce Lyka and Dionysios before Achilleus, she too shall be liable to arrest and be held in custody until she has paid the aforesaid loan and the interest, and the execution for Achilleus shall be […] against Didyme herself and against all her property, as if by a court judgment, all guarantees and protections they may bring forward being invalid. We request (registration).

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
