A loan contract in which Aurelia Titoueis of Karanis acknowledges receiving from Aurelia Koutina of Arsinoe 9 artabas of wheat (including interest) and 3,000 talents of silver representing the value of 6 artabas of barley, all to be repaid in Epeiph. It was written by Aurelius Petros on behalf of the illiterate borrower, on 3 February 373.
The hemiolia is a 50 percent interest charge included in the stated wheat amount; the money loan was effectively an advance on barley to be repaid in kind.
