Pap. London, British Library Pap 1794   (More information about the Object)
Publication No. P.Lond. V 1721
Modern Title Acknowledgement of debt
Summary NN records a half-solidus increase in his pre-existing debt to NN and indicates his readiness to pay it by Payni Since he describes it as interest, perhaps it is in lieu of an interest payment which he missed. The document belongs together with P. Lond. V 1719 and P. Lond. V 1720 and perhaps the creditor here is the same as the Syenian in the former one. (Farber/Porten)
