Fragment of a loan contract in the form of a letter-style acknowledgment, in which a man whose mother was Eudaimonis confirms receiving 1,300 silver drachmas in cash from the lender. He promises to repay the sum in 13 monthly instalments of 100 drachmas, beginning in Phaophi of the 11th year.
The beginning and end are lost, so the parties' full names, the lender, and the exact date are missing. Thirteen instalments of 100 drachmas exactly cover the 1,300 drachmas, so the restoration of the monthly amount is secure.
