Fragment of a written acknowledgment (homologia) from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, probably a loan agreement in which an Aurelius acknowledges receiving money, apparently 140 drachmas, from Aurelius Dio[…] for one year from the month Thoth, with repayment of the principal due by Mesore. The end preserves part of a subscription by Aurelius Pat[…], perhaps writing on behalf of the borrower.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] [… ac]knowledges, Aurelius […] [formerly] [called …] before the divine gr[ant …] […] of Pat[…] from the vill[age …] […] to Aurelius Dio[…] […] of the cities […] the acknowledging party […] […] drachm[as …] one hundred and fo[rty …] for [one] year […] [from] the month of Thoth […] the mina […] […] to Aurelius Dio[…] […] both the princi[pal …] […] Mesore […] […] […] Herakleid[…] and […] of the acknowledging party […] […] Anto[…] Aurelius Pat[…] the given [… ] […] […] as stated above […] […] on [his] behalf […]

The 'divine grant' refers to the Constitutio Antoniniana of AD 212, which gave citizenship and the name Aurelius, so the text dates after 212. Its identification as a loan is probable but not certain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Homologie unsicheren Inhalts (wahrscheinlich Darlehensurkunde)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
