Description

P.Haun. III 56: Loan

Part of a sheet of papyrus preserving the left margin only. The text seems to have contained a mutual agreement by which one party borrowed 15 gold solidi against the use of a small house, free of rent.  The subscriptions at the end of the contract are in different hands, presumably those of the parties, one of them being Aurelios Arimmas deacon (diakonos), whose hand is as well experienced as the main hand.

Handwriting is an upright, experienced cursive running along the fibres.
Verso is blank.
