Discussion
The leather cutter Aurelius Pusis, son of Menas, from the city of Arsinoe acknowledges to the church of the martyr Viktor to have received a loan of nearly two gold coins (solidi) from a cleric representing the local church of Viktor as the moneylender. The terms and conditions of this loan were listed, but are now largely lost.
