In the twelfth year of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian, in the month of Caesar, during the time of the Theadelphian of the division of Themis of the law of Arsinoites. It was issued by Didas as of forty-two years to his own brother as of twenty-five years to his own son for a period of one year from the new moon of the August month of the Lord Hadrian Caesar, that he may fully exercise the entire craft of architecture, in which he himself presides, providing for and clothing the child, without any exemption to Didas within the time, to take away the child whom I will not take away from you.

[In the] twelfth year of Emperor [Caesar Trajan] Hadrian Augustus,
[in the month of Caesareus], during the intercalary days,
at Theadelphia in the division of Themistos,
of the Arsinoite nome, Didās, about forty-two years old,
apprenticed to his own nephew,
about twenty-five years old,
his own son, on the left side (?), for a period of one year,
from the new moon of the month Sebastos (Augustus),
entering into the thirteenth year of Hadrian Caesar the lord,
to learn completely the entire craft of carpentry,
in which he himself is skilled,
providing food and clothing for the boy,
without Didās having authority within the period to remove the boy,
whom indeed I will not remove from you.
