A fragmentary Greek papyrus, probably a receipt, from the 2nd century AD involving a man named Orsenouphis. It concerns a debt of 200 silver drachmas, of which 100 drachmas were apparently paid, while the creditor reserves his claim to the remaining 100.
In English machine translation

[… gr]eeting(?) […] according to […] you owe
me of 200 drachmas of silver, 100 drachmas, my claim
against you remaining in force concerning the remaining 100 drachmas […]

100 drachmas […]

The identification as a receipt is tentative; the clause keeping the claim for the remaining 100 drachmas in force is typical of partial-payment receipts. The reference to an oath is too damaged to interpret securely.
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 reçu (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
