Horos slab of limestone found in Dekeleia (a deme of Athens). On "contributors" (eranistai) as ongoing associations rather than merely ad hoc loaning groups, see the recent study by Thomsen 2015. 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 contributors (eranistai) who are with Demylas from Lamptrai subdivision for a loan of 1200 drachmas.
