A contract of loan in which Dioskoros son of Herakleides and his wife Sarapias acknowledge receiving from Leonides son of Herodes 28 silver drachmas at interest and the value of about 1 1/2 artabas of wheat, to be repaid in Pauni. It was drawn up at Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome in January 118, and the whole text was later struck through.
The entire recto text is cancelled by the scribe, probably because the loan was repaid or the draft was abandoned. 'Persian of the Epigone' is a legal status designation with no exact English equivalent.
