Modern Title Contract concerning the payment of "tropheia"
Summary contract concerning the payment of tropheia, interpreted as mariage contract, contract with a concubine or as a release of a slave. The Syrian woman named Elaphion pays an amount of money to Pantarkes, a Greek man probably of military context, as tropheia; with witnesses and seals. Almost the same contract was made out by Elaphion some 7 months later to Antipatros = P.Eleph. 3.
