"In the reign of our most divine Lord Flavius Justinian, the eternal Augustus, in the year of the first indiction, after the consulate of Flavius Basilios, the most glorious, in the fifth year, on the fourth Mesore, in the eleventh indiction. Psais, son of Bessios, from the mother Tasaï, deacon from the village of Aphrodite of the Antaeopolite law, to the most admirable Dioskoros, son of Apollotos, first village chief from the same village, greetings. I acknowledge through this written document that I owe you and am indebted for the sowing and irrigation and the tax of one aroura, in the gathering of the agricultural taxes from the land called Athanasius, near the fertile land, on which I have this for deposit of linen reeds, on the sowing with God, expected on the twelfth indiction, and to provide you, for the third payment of the public tax of the eleventh indiction, one gold coin from the two keratia at the goldsmith's station. It is made of gold, a coin from the two keratia at the goldsmith's, without any contradiction and excess, being firm now of my previous handwritten document of the other two arouras in the lot of Piahse, according to the same security. And for your security, I have set this safe document under my signature. And being questioned, I acknowledged."

† Psais, son of Besios, whose mother is Tasais, deacon from the village of Aphrodite in the Antaiopolite nome, to the most admirable Dioskoros, son of Apollos, headman of the same village, greetings.
I acknowledge by this written security of mine that I owe and am indebted to you, for the sowing and irrigation and the tax of one aroura of land, among productive grain-bearing plots east of the road at the place called Athanasias, near fertile land, on condition that I hold this land for the deposit of flax-stalks, for the sowing expected, God willing, in the twelfth indiction, and to pay you, at the third installment of the public taxes of the eleventh indiction, one gold solidus minus two carats by the goldsmith's weight (which amounts to one gold solidus minus two carats by goldsmith's weight), without any dispute or objection, with my previous promissory note concerning the other two arouras in the allotment of Piahse remaining valid, according to the same security.
And for your security, I have made this secure by the signature of the one signing on my behalf; and having been questioned, I acknowledged it. ⳨
