Loan of Salt (P.Dryton 29, P.Grenf. I 29, P.Lond. III 625 descr., TM 66)
- Scope & Content:
-
A loan of 6 artabas of salt with interest included from Sennesis to Phagonis. The loan is to be returned in Choiak (mid-January), and, should the borrower fail to return it in time, he will have to pay some artabas of wheat in Phamenoth (April). The scribe is Hermias, subordinate of the notary Paniscus. The summary is on the back.
The last three lines of the recto contain a Demotic receipt, later added in the lower margin, whereby the son of Sennesis acknowledges the repayment of the loan.

Two papyrus fragments forming an almost complete sheet, with a small portion lacking in the lower half. Writing runs along the fibres on the recto and across them on the verso, with the verso having a two-line docket. On the recto, the upper margin measures 25 mm, the left 5 mm, the right a maximum of 20 mm; the lower margin, originally of 30 mm, was then used for three Demotic lines. The papyrus was rolled horizontally from top to bottom. The damage is located along the horizontal folds. The surface is occasionally abraded. The papyrus is housed in a glass case.
