e.g. "Apparatus"
From Satabouetos of the younger Ergeos, of the priests from the island of Socnopaios; in the year of Caesar, I lent to Harpagathes, the son of Panefrommios, a Persian, according to the written agreement of the loan of silver capital (drachmas). Through the same writing, Harpagathes declared all that was pertinent to him, that he should not touch the great god of Socnopaios, but that it should belong to me, Satabouetos, until he repays me the aforementioned capital and the interest. Therefore, since Harpagathes does not wish to willingly repay the aforementioned capital and the interest, but is wandering, through your (name) [illegible] and the [illegible] of my memorandum, the copy should be given to the priests of the god Socnopaios, to the governor Satabouetos of Horus, so that he may know accordingly to the declared writing, that the imposition upon Harpagathes is as it is customary among men, and that I am not in any way diminished in my dealings with Harpagathes.

εὐτύχει
From Satabous, son of Hergeus the younger,
of the priests from the island of Soknopaios:
In the (year) of Caesar, I lent to Harpagathes,
son of Panephremmis, a Persian of priestly descent,
according to a written loan agreement,
a sum of silver (drachmas) [amount unclear].
And by the same agreement, Harpagathes declared
that all the philanthropic allowances accruing to him
from the great, great temple of the god Soknopaios
would not be touched by him,
but would belong to me, Satabous, until he repays me
the aforementioned principal and the interest.
Since Harpagathes is unwilling voluntarily [to repay]
the aforementioned principal and interest,
but instead is evading [unclear text],
I request that a copy of my memorandum be registered
and transmitted to Satabous, son of Horos,
the leader of the priests of the god Soknopaios,
so that he may know accordingly
that the aforementioned agreement remains valid for me,
imposing upon Harpagathes the philanthropic levy,
as is customary also in other cases,
without any reduction of my claim in the action against Harpagathes.

Farewell.
