Fragment concerning a debt of 1,800 drachmas and pledges TM 31678MemphisIII

Fragment of a Greek document from Memphis, 3rd century AD, written in the first person, mentioning a man named Phylaxithalassios also called Zeneios, a sum of 1,800 silver drachmas, an offer of pledges and payments to be supplied by the writer. It may be a petition or a legal statement about a financial dispute, but too little survives to be sure.

In English machine translation

The name Phylaxithalassios, 'guardian of the sea', is an unusual Greek name. The figure 1,800 depends on the restoration of 'eight hundred' from the surviving 'ok-'.
