Fragmentary acknowledgement of a loan in which two or more people, one a son of Herakleides, confirm receiving 100 silver drachmas from a woman named Thaisas and promise to repay them under mutual guarantee. A certain Papos wrote for them because they were illiterate, and the document was registered at the record office of Herakleia in the Arsinoite nome, around AD 132-151.
"Mutual guarantee" (allelengye) means each borrower was liable for the whole debt. The beginning is lost, so the borrowers' full names and the contract's date are missing.
