An extract from the property-record office of Oxyrhynchos, copied from the register entry for Dionysios son of Sarapion. It records a report of 29 January 225 by the administrators of a civic endowment, funded by Aurelius Horion and his sons and by Calpurnius Firmus, that Dionysios had borrowed 12 talents 1,700 drachmas from it, presumably secured on his property.
The diastromata were the personal property files kept for each owner in the record office, where liens such as this loan were noted. Aurelius Horion is known as a benefactor of Oxyrhynchos who gave funds to the city.
