Fragments of contracts from Panopolis dated under the emperor Commodus (AD 184-185), apparently involving a house pledged as security. One part records a loan of 200 silver drachmas, with the borrower promising repayment and agreeing not to mortgage or sell his house in a quarter of Panopolis.
The text seems to contain more than one agreement, the second beginning with the regnal date of Commodus and personal descriptions of the parties. The 'small coin' (nomismation) clause is obscure in its broken context.
