Sheet (kollema) […] To Protarchos, from Felix, slave of Caesar, and from Sarapion son of Pete[…]. Sarapion acknowledges that he has received from Felix a loan, from hand to hand out of the house, of 48 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, without interest, which he will also repay by the 30th of Mesore of the present 20th year of Caesar without any delay; otherwise he is to be liable to immediate arrest and to be held until he pays the loan with an additional half, and for the overdue time the interest according to the ordinance at 2 drachmas, Felix having the right of execution upon Sarapion himself and upon all his property, as if by judgment, all guarantees and every protection that he may bring forward being invalid. We request (this). Farewell. Year 20 of Caesar, Pharmouthi 21. I, Felix, agree to the terms written above. I, Ape…, have written for Sarapion (?), since he does not know letters. I, Sarapion, agree to the terms written above. I, Ptolemaios, have written for him because he does not know letters.

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.
