Translation into English

Of the high priest Mamertinus and of Eiouitan of the most illustrious Aurelii Nilo Gennaidios and Theodoros Komasios, of the law of Hermopolites, from Aurelius Serenus Pinutios from the village of Enseu, of the same Hermopolites. Six years before these, I married a woman named Tamounis, from the father Demetrios, and the customary dowry I gave to the same woman, and I executed the laws of marriage according to the usual customs of marriage, and they lived together for three years. And the mother of the registered woman testified that she had taken the woman as her wife. Therefore, having departed for my own work, in order to find a way to support life, I have given the same wife to another man without release, named Peue from the village of Achilles, of the same Hermopolites.

English Translation

[In the consulship of Mamertinus and Nevitta, the most illustrious,]
[To Aurelii] Nilus Gennadius and Theodorus Comasius,
[riparii] of the district of Hermopolis,
[from Aure]lius Serenus, son of Pinoution, from the village of Enseu
[of the same] Hermopolite nome.
Six years ago, I married a woman named Tamounis, daughter of Demetrius,
and I gave her the customary bridal gifts (dowry), and fulfilled the marriage laws
according to the usual custom of marriage, and I lived with her for three years.
But the mother of the aforementioned woman deceived me,
claiming that my wife had been possessed by a demon.
Therefore, when I had departed to my own work, in order to find means to support my life,
she gave the same wife in marriage to another man named Peeutis from the village of Achilleus
of the same Hermopolite nome, without any formal divorce.
