Transliterations on Places on

[1] On this type of transaction involving a loan by eranistai see Agora XIX H4 with notes. This is the only marker on which the plerotes of the loan is named, a term (literally “filler”) designating the person who collected the loan contributions from his fellow lenders (see e.g. Hypereides Ath. 9; Dem. 21.184, 25.21-22).
