Translation into English

"Of the office of the consul Flavius Valerius, Aurelius Pinutios,
eight in number, in the best hand of the [senator] of Hermopolis,
of the law of Flavius Taurinus,
to Plousammōn, the deputy of the number of Mauros, greetings.
I have to report to you and to owe you a capital of gold coins,
the despotic tokens, a stable amount of eight.
Half of which shall be given to you, if you choose,
in regard to the profit of each coin per year, one artab of grain,
calculated from the current month of Choiak of the present indiction,
until the payment of the entire capital being whole and secure,
which I will also give to you along with the profit,
arising from the transaction from me and from all my possessions,
as it is just. The letter is authoritative, which I also issued to you for your safety.
Aurelius Pinutios, the one in question, has eight and a half gold coins,
and I will give it to you along with the profit as stated.
Aurelius Gennadios, son of Dionysios, having been honored, wrote on his behalf,
being present and letters not knowing."
"Written by me, Phoibammōn."

English Translation

[In the consulship of Flavius Valerius]
Aurelius Pinoution, son of Einios, [acknowledges] eight [and a half] gold solidi, imperial, tested, and of proper weight, which I acknowledge to have received from you and owe to you as principal. I will repay these to you whenever you wish, on condition that I provide you annually, as interest, one artaba of wheat per solidus, counting the time from the current month Choiak of the present first indiction until the repayment of the entire principal, intact and without risk. I will repay this to you along with the accumulated interest, the transaction being secured by myself and all my possessions as if by legal judgment. This document is valid, which I have issued to you for security.

(Second hand) I, Aurelius Pinoution, son of Einios, the aforementioned, have received the eight and a half gold solidi and will repay them with interest as stated above. I, Aurelius Gennadios, son of Dionysios, having been requested, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.

(First hand) Written by me, Phoibammon.
