Horos slab of blue marble found on the western slope of Munychia. 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. A Panteretos (either the same man or his grandfather) is attested as a leader of a group of contributors who offered a loan (see IG II² 2345 on this site).
Marker (horos) of a house sold on condition of release to the contributors (eranistai) who are with Pantaretos from Alopeke subdivision for a loan of 1800 drachmas.
