Copy of an acknowledgement of a loan of 100 silver drachmas TM 11496Tebtynis (Arsinoites)98 - 102

Copy of a contract in which Souch[…], son of Sokrates, a 'Persian of the epigone', acknowledges receiving a cash loan of 100 silver drachmas from Psonsneus son of Koueis and undertakes to repay it. It was drawn up at Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome in the reign of Trajan.

In English machine translation

'Persian of the epigone' was by this period a legal status used for debtors in loan contracts rather than a true ethnic designation. The regnal year is lost, so the date is limited to the years when Trajan bore the title Germanicus but not yet Dacicus.
