Horos slab of marble found in the area of the Parthenon. The phrase "sold on condition of release" (πεπραμένων ἐπὶ λυσει) denotes not an actual sale, but the offering of securities for a loan with an expectation that the pledged securities would be "released" upon repayment of the loan.
Marker (horos) of a property sold on condition of release to the society-members (thiasōtai = thiasitai) of Demotes for a loan of 100 drachmas.
