[ὑπατεί]ας Οὐαλεντινιανοῦ τοῦ ἐπιφανεστάτου υἱοῦ τοῦ δεσπότου ἡμῶν Οὐάλεντος τοῦ αἰωνίου Αὐγούστου καὶ Φλ(αουίου) Οὐικτωριανοῦ τοῦ λαμπροτάτου

English Translation

[In the consulship] of Valentinian, the most illustrious son of our lord Valens, the eternal Augustus, and Flavius Victorinus, the most illustrious, the following parties mutually agree: Aurelia Apia, daughter of Aphones, whose mother is Alilla, from the settlement of Philoxenos, with the presence and consent of her mother Aurelia Alilla, daughter of Amounes, from the same settlement of Philoxenos, and Arius, son of Atouphes, whose mother is Irene, from the village of Dinnis, residing in the settlement of Harpokras. They declare that they have voluntarily and mutually agreed to separate, having considered it beneficial to themselves to dissolve their cohabitation, which had existed informally. Each party is free to manage their own affairs as they wish, and Apia is free to marry another man without any accusation whatsoever, having received back fully the dowry she brought to Arius. Arius also acknowledges that he has received all his property fully and will not bring any claim or accusation against Apia, nor will either party pursue any claim against the other regarding their former cohabitation or any other matter, written or unwritten, debt, demand, accusation, or dispute from past times until the present day. Their two minor children, Arenis, aged five, and Amoutis, aged one year, remain with their mother, who will raise and care for them without receiving anything from their father Arius, who renounces the children. Arius promises never to take action against Apia regarding these children, and Apia and her mother Alilla likewise promise not to pursue Arius for maintenance or any other matter, as they have thus agreed. Upon questioning, they confirmed this agreement.
