Fragment of what appears to be a loan contract, in which the borrower promises repayment in the month of Phaophi of a coming tenth (or later) regnal year. Dorion son of Dorion wrote the document on behalf of the parties, who were presumably illiterate.

The identification as a loan rests on the phrase 'I will repay' and a repayment month; the regnal year number is incomplete ('...and tenth', i.e. a year between 11 and 19).

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment d’un contrat de prêt (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
