To the most excellent council, through Aurelius Theon, the son of Demetrius, the archon and president, from Aurelius Horus (?), and the son of Mareinos from the city of Koptos and Sarapodora, and Didymus, a citizen, of the glassmakers.
We undertake to work on the numenaria of the three balaneia, both of the gymnasium and of the praetorium and of the komastirion, and of other civic works, receiving for each piece six silver drachmas, six obols instead of the eight drachmas now being paid by the lords of the agreements.

We undertake to work on the lighting-windows of three bathhouses, namely, the one at the gymnasium, the one at the praetorium, and the one near the festive hall (komasterion), as well as other public works, receiving for each cubit six drachmas and six obols of silver instead of the currently expended eight drachmas [...] under the conditions [...].
