Horos stone found in Teithras subdivision. 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 the houses and surrounding area offered as security to the contributors (eranistai) who are with Mnesitheos from Alopeke subdivision for an eranos-loan of one talent (i.e. 6000 drachmas).
