End of a loan contract in which Papeeis son of Psenobastis acknowledges borrowing 40 silver drachmas from Sarapion son of Sarapion, to be repaid in the month Soterios. As security he may not sell or mortgage his quarter share of an empty plot in Karanis until repayment; the contract was registered at Hiera Nesos in AD 89.
Soterios and Domitianos are honorific month names used under Domitian (Domitianos = Phaophi). 'Persian of the epigone' is a legal status designation for debtors in Roman Egypt.
