bibliography            

Horos (broken). Found at Koropi, a modern town about 20 km southeast 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 (five unintelligible letters) half sold to the contributors (eranistai) who are with Menekratos.
