Summary of Content The smith Allamonos of Syene acknowledges a debt of one solidus apparently to a monastery in the Coptite nome where Iakobos is the abbot. There is no mention of interest and the loan is to be repaid at the wish of the creditor. The lone witness is from Diocletianopolis, near Coptos, suggesting that the contract was drawn up at the monastery in that vicinity rather than at Syene. Were the document indeed discovered at Syene, it would mean that the loan had been repaid and this contract had reverted to the borrower.
Location of Composition Koptites Upper Egypt, 5th nome Egypt (Certainty: high)
