A short note, apparently an account or docket, recording a loan of 300 drachmas connected with Theon and with people in Alexandria, involving the boat of Taureinos and Seneithes, with interest of 77 drachmas reckoned until the month of Mesore. It comes from Oxyrhynchus, around AD 1.
The letters ασσχηκε χειρο in line 1 are unresolved and their meaning is uncertain; 'handwriting' is only a guess from χειρο-. Section [2], 'for a loan', looks like a docket or heading.
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.
