Fragments of what appear to be two loan documents in silver drachmas from Panopolis, dated 217-218 AD, one of them addressed to the banker Aurelius Zoilos. The surviving phrases mention money counted out, repayment without delay, and a party who needed cash.

The banker's name Aurelius Zoilos is restored by the editor; the emperor Marcus is presumably Macrinus or Elagabalus, whose reigns fall in 217-218.
