To Achaios […] from Sosipatros son of […] and from Aristoklea daughter of […], Persian woman, with her guardian […], and Tryphaina daughter of […], Persian woman, with her guardian […]. Aristoklea and Tryphaina agree that they have received from Sosipatros a loan, from hand to hand out of his house, of 1,080 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, without interest, which they will also repay within ten months counting from […] of the present fourteenth year of Caesar, without any delay; otherwise they are to be liable to arrest and to be held in custody until they pay the loan, the 1,080 drachmas of silver, with the addition of one half immediately, and for the time beyond the term the interest according to the ordinance at 2 drachmas, the right of execution belonging to Sosipatros both 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, all guarantees they may bring forward and all protection being invalid. This loan is separate from the further 3 talents of silver which the same Aristoklea and Tryphaina owe Sosipatros under another agreement made through the same court.

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.
