Loan of gold solidi with monthly penalty clause TM 129815unbekannt2. Hälfte VII

End of a loan contract in which Menas acknowledges a debt and promises repayment by a fixed term, agreeing to pay a penalty of one keration per solidus per month if he defaults. The subscription records the sum as 53 solidi, and the document was drawn up through Horsikios son of Makarios. It dates to the second half of the 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

A keration (carat) was a fraction of the gold solidus (1/24); the penalty is set as one keration per solidus for each month of delay. The beginning of the contract, with the parties and the place, is lost.
