An order from Diogenes to Thrasymedes to issue a loan of 200 artabas of barley-wheat or old barley to Theochrestos son of Demokritos, a 25-aroura settler of the Epigone, for cultivating and harvesting autumn sesame. The loan is to be repaid from the new crop with the rents in year 36. Written in the Arsinoite nome (Ghoran) in 251 BC.
The document is a double document: the inner text is complete and the outer copy is damaged. The 'Epigone' were descendants of soldiers or settlers, here a 25-aroura cleruch.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Le même au même. Prêt à un épigone clérouque). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
