An acknowledgement of a loan at interest of 18 1/2 artabas of vegetable seed (oil-seed) made by Eutychides son of Eudaimon to a man whose name ends in -oros. The borrower promises to repay in Epeiph of Domitian's second year from produce of land farmed jointly with the lender, delivered to Selila. Hermopolite nome, AD 82-83.
