- Title:
- Contract of Loan of Money (P.Lond. V 1719, TM 19734)
- Scope & Content:
- Paam, a priest, and Paulus owe the sum of five solidi to an unknown man. Paam's share of the debt is four solidi and he undertakes to repay it within the same month (Mecheir), apparently without interest. Paulus promises to repay the debt by the month of Epeiph, five months later, at an interest rate of 12% per annum. The jewelry pledged as security includes two pendants of a gold earring, probably one acquired by Paulus' daughter Maria seven years earlier (P.Lond. V 1720). The papyrus P. Lond. V 1721 belongs together with P. Lond. V 1721 and 1720 and perhaps the creditor whose name is missing in P. Lond. V 1721, is the same as the Syenian mentioned here.
