EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[…] To Achaios, the official in charge of the court in the palace (aule), from Gaius Julius Philios, and from Nilos son of […] and his wife Zois daughter of […] and the son of them both, Eirenaios also called Dorotheos, Zois acting with her husband himself as guardian. Concerning the matters in dispute, Nilos and Zois and also Eirenaios agree that they have received from Gaius Philios as a loan, both from hand to hand and through the money-changing bank of Kastor, 180 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, without interest, which they will also repay within six months from the new moon of Mecheir of the present 15th year of Caesar, paying each day toward the aforesaid capital the due amount of 1 drachma, regularly, making no default, until Gaius Philios has been paid in full the 180 silver drachmas; and they will do this without legal proceedings and any dispute. If they default on any of the daily payments, they shall be liable to seizure without waiting for the time allotted to them, and shall be held until they have paid the whole capital, or what will remain owing, together with half as much again, immediately, and for the overdue time the interest according to the ordinance at 2 drachmas, execution being granted to Gaius Philios against the three themselves, who are mutual sureties for payment, both against any one and against whichever he chooses, and against all their property, as if by a court judgment. And until they have settled, they shall not be permitted to bring forward pleas of credit, nor to take refuge in […], nor in an asylum place, nor in a decree of amnesties or of labour, nor in any other protection at all; or whatever they resort to shall be invalid. The other loan agreement which two of the aforesaid, Nilos and Zois, together with Sarapion son of Sosos, have produced, made through the same court in Hathyr of the same 15th year in favour of Gaius Philios for 120 drachmas, shall be invalid […] and in future they will not proceed concerning the capital of the 120 silver drachmas […] […] 180 […] […]

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.
