A fragment of a loan contract from Dura-Europos in which Baadadados borrows money from Apollonios and, instead of paying interest, owes him services until repayment, with his property pledged as security. A relative, Belakabos, consents to the mortgage, and Baadadados promises to renew the contract at the local registry on demand. It is dated in year 400 of the Seleucid era, month Peritios, day 25.

If he does not repay within the fixed time, Baadadados shall in that case also continue to render to Apollonios the same services on the aforesaid terms until the repayment of the money. If, however, after the time has passed, Apollonios wishes to recover the money, and Baadadados, when asked, is unable to repay the money at once, Apollonios and anyone presenting this contract shall have the right of execution against Baadadados and against the pledged property and against all that he may acquire, exacting with full authority the whole except […] with the […].

In an antichretic loan the creditor receives services or use of property in place of interest. Year 400 of the Seleucid era corresponds to about AD 88/89, earlier than the catalogue's first half of the 2nd century, though the year is partly restored.
