Fragment of a loan contract in which Phmois borrowed 10 artabas of wheat, to be repaid in new, clean wheat delivered to the lender's house, with a penalty of one and a half times for late payment. It was registered by the notary Paniskos with Sosos at Krokodilopolis in the Pathyrite nome on 24 October 108 BC.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] new wheat, clean, unadulterated, [by the measure by which he also] received it, and delivered [to] his house [at his own expense]. If he does not repay within the fixed time or [does not do as written], let him pay forthwith in the [following] month [the ten artabas] at one and a half times, and for each artaba [that he does not repay let him pay the] market [price current at the time, one and a half times; and let the right of execution be] […] […] upon the borrower Phmois [and upon all his property], for the one exacting payment [as if by legal judgment]. I, Paniskos, with Sosos, [have registered it]. Year 10, Phaophi 6. […] [verso] Year [10, Phaophi 6], loan (?) […] 10 artabas of wheat […]

The 'hemiolion' penalty required repayment at 150% of the amount owed. The opening with the parties' names is lost; much of the formula is restored from parallel contracts.
