THE BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF PAPYROLOGISTS
Abstract
This paper offers new readings in three contracts from Byzantine
Oxyrhynchus (P.Münch. 3.98; P.Amh. 2.150; PSI 3.239), all of which
concern bakers loaning money or making advanced payments to
workers living on the Apion estate. The texts shed light on the socioeconomic
situation of bakers and the circulation of money within
great estates in Late Antiquity.
