Fragments of two documents from Panopolis, dated 31 August 217. The first is the end of a receipt or release in which someone acknowledges full payment of a sum of drachmas, with a subscription written for an illiterate party by Aurelius Ision son of Kolanthos; the second is a loan in which three villagers of Senamontai undertake to repay Aurelius Zoilos, connected with the priest Aurelius Harsytes, within the month of Thoth.
