Fragmentary loan contract in which two or more borrowers, including a woman acting with her guardian, receive a loan of wheat from Zenodoros, to be repaid in new clean wheat in the month Apellaios of year 53, with the usual penalty and execution clauses. It dates to late 118 BC, in the reign of Ptolemy VIII.
