P. Yale Inv. 1624 is a receipt issued on January 25 A.D. 203 for partial repayment of two loans. Both of the loans bore interest at the usual rate of twelve per cent per annum. Three quarters of the first loan and one half of the second loan were assigned to a third person by virtue of an arrangement contracted, with the consent of the debtors, between the third person and the creditor. T h e former claims the collection of the assigned sums. T h e receipt in agreement with a common practice for partial receipts, is drawn up in the private chirographic form.
