Contract for the charge of a stable

(A.D. 610-11)

P.Oxy. I 133-139 are concerned with the affairs of Fl. Apion, his heirs, or his son, Fl. Apion the younger. The family figures in a considerable proportion of the Oxyrhynchus papyri of this period. Contract between Fl. Apion the younger and John, 'contractor of the racecourse' belonging to Fl. Apion, by which John agreed to undertake for a year the charge of Apion's stable in addition to the racecourse, and to provide him with animals whenever they were required, in return for the payment of one pound of gold (72 solidi). At the top of the document there is part of a protocol in brown ink, similar to those frequently met with in long Byzantine papyri.
