A loan contract from Tebtynis in which Pachnoubis son of Orseus acknowledges receiving from Thaubarion daughter of Kronion, with her guardian Maron, an interest-bearing loan of 40 silver drachmas and 2 artabas of barley, to be repaid in Pauni of the same year. The verso preserves the beginning of an unrelated or draft text mentioning a period of four years at Tebtynis.

In English machine translation

[verso] From S[…] I wish […] [for four] years from the present […] [year] […] at Tebtynis […] […] [… 1 line lost …] [recto] In the seventeenth year of Imperator [Caesar] Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Tybi 12, at Tebtynis of the division of Polemon of the Arsinoite nome. Pachnoubis son of Orseus, grandson of Papnebtynis, aged about thirty, with a scar on his left shin, acknowledges to [Thaubarion] daughter of Kronion, aged about thirty-five, without distinguishing marks, acting with her guardian, her kinsman Maron son of Maron, aged about thirty-two, with a scar on his forehead, that he has received from her, Thaubarion, [from hand] to hand, an interest-bearing loan of a capital sum of 40 drachmas of silver [and] 2 artabas of barley by the four-choinix measure of Tebtynis, [which] Pachnoubis will repay to Thaubarion in the month of Pauni of the present [17th year] without delay, the right of execution belonging to Thaubarion against Pachnoubis and against all [his property]. Subscription of the writer: I, Pachnoubis son of Orseus, have from Thaubarion a loan of a capital sum of 40 drachmas and 2 artabas of barley and I will repay [as] stated above. Dionysios […] wrote on his behalf because he is illiterate.

The verso text, apparently the start of an offer of lease for four years, is fragmentary and its relation to the loan is unclear. Year 17 of Antoninus Pius, Tybi 12, corresponds to 7 January 154.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Loan of Money and Barley).
