Fragmentary end of a loan contract from Oxyrhynchus, dated 28 November 308 in the reign of Galerius and Maximinus. Only the validity clause, the dating formula and the start of the borrower's subscription acknowledging receipt of a loan of silver survive.
The clause stating that the document is valid wherever it is produced is a standard formula guaranteeing that the contract is enforceable when presented by the lender or anyone acting for him. The regnal year numbers are partly restored.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Contract of Loan). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
