Phanias, agent of Phanias, asks the notary (agoranomos) of Oxyrhynchus to register a three-year mortgage contract of three-fifths of a three-storey house for a loan of 400 drachmas of silver. The house includes a cellar, courts, and a stone well among the other things. The mortgagee is Thonis, son of Thonis, and the mortgager Tbekis, daughter of Hierax. No interest is to be paid, but the mortgagee has the right to live in the house on condition that he pays the annual fee for renewing the mortgage.
