which you have compelled me to return to the three]

If not, I will pay
[for the time that has passed]
the interest on the amounts that have been established between each other,
remaining
to you a word concerning what
other debts you owe
[according to other letters]
until the matter concerning him

possessions that I have. The principal document is a simple writing
and having been questioned, I acknowledged.
Aurelius Didymus, the one mentioned, has received the silver of
thirty talents and three thousand drachmas
along with a difference and I will return [as is appropriate, and having been questioned]
