Fragment mentioning payments of drachmas over a three-month period TM 25518unbekanntI - IV

A small fragment of a Greek papyrus that mentions a three-month period, a further 300 drachmas, a payment apparently being completed, and a regnal year 18. The surviving words suggest a financial matter, possibly a petition or a letter about payments, but too little remains to be sure.

Only the beginnings of lines survive, so the type of document cannot be determined. The phrase 'since, then' (epei oun) often introduces the request in a petition, but this is not certain.
