Fragment mentioning Sostratos and sureties TM 1685unbekanntMitte III v.Chr.

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus from the middle of the 3rd century BC. Only scattered words survive, including a mention of dawn, a man named Sostratos, and sureties (guarantors), so the nature of the document cannot be determined.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] owe in addition (?) [...] [...] I may set up (?) [...] [...] reported (?) [...] and at dawn [...] Sostratos [...] [...] I give (?) [...] [...] [...] sureties [...] [...] [...] [...] [...] [...]

Only the beginnings of lines survive, so most word readings are tentative. The papyrus belongs to a 3rd-century BC group in the London collection, probably connected with the Zenon archive, though this text itself does not confirm it.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
