Acknowledgement of a deposit of silver drachmas TM 11506Arsinoites (?)ca. 100

Fragmentary contract of deposit in which Didymos son of Lysimachos, a 'Persian of the epigone', acknowledges receiving 84 silver drachmas of imperial coinage on deposit from Didymos the younger and undertakes to repay them. It dates to about AD 100 and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

'Persian of the epigone' was a legal status designation, in this period used chiefly for debtors, implying liability to arrest for default. The text shifts from third to first person, as often in such acknowledgements, and 'drachmas' is inferred from the feminine numeral.
