[…] Sosibios (?) in the month Xandikos, at Tholthis in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Theogonos, Ainianian, of Philon's troop, pentakosiarch, has lent to Praxo daughter of Proxenos, Cyrenaean, with her guardian Menon son of Kallias, Persian of the epigone, 50 artabas of olyra. Let Praxo repay this grain to Theogonos in the month Dystros of the ninth year, olyra clean and unadulterated, by the just chous-measure with just measuring, and let her deliver it to Tholthis wherever Theogonos directs, at her own expense. If she does not repay as written, let Praxo pay Theogonos as the price of each artaba of olyra 4 drachmas of silver […], and let Theogonos have the right of execution upon Praxo, exacting payment in accordance with the regulation; and let this contract be valid wherever it is produced.

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.
