Loan of 100 drachmas between priestesses of Soknopaiou Nesos TM 12480Soknopaiu Nesos (Arsinoites)161 - 180

Fragment of a loan contract from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, in which Herieus, a priestess acting with her brother Stotoetis as guardian, acknowledges receiving 100 silver drachmas at monthly interest from another priestess, daughter of Stotoetis. It is a copy drawn from the register of a record office and dates to the reign of Marcus Aurelius.

In English machine translation

The reference to year 21 of the deified Aelius Antoninus (Antoninus Pius, AD 157/8) probably dates an earlier registration, while the contract itself falls under Marcus Aurelius. Interest was reckoned per mina (100 drachmas) per month, but the rate is lost.
