Abstract
The papyrus is owned by the University of California at Berkeley and housed in the Rare Books Department of the Bancroft Library. It was summarily described on page 332 of The Tebtunis Papyri, Vol. II, and mentioned in the introduction toP. Teb. 397 on page 258 of the same volume. Interest in the document and an approximate date are provided by its association with P. Teb. 397 (= MChr. 321) of 198 A.D., a settlement of a long outstanding debt. In that text a certain Tyrannis acknowledges that she has received satisfactory compensation for a loan which had been made out by her father Sara pion in 150 A.D. to nine persons acting conjointly.
