Of King Ptolemy of the Ptolemaic dynasty and of Arsinoe, the gods of the Siblings, in the year e (*), when it was decreed. An oath, which Semtheus Teotus, the Heracleopolitan of the works, swore and wrote by hand, who is also called Heracleodorus. I swear by the king (*), Ptolemy, the son of the king (*), Ptolemy, and the queen Berenice, and the gods of the Siblings and the Benefactor gods, the parents of these, and Isis and Sarapis and all the other local gods and goddesses, that I will not engage in any dealings through Clitarchus, the one from Asclepius, the treasurer, regarding my (*), and that I will properly and justly account for all that falls into the royal treasury, and whoever I may receive bronze from Clitarchus, apart from whatever I may take out (*), to restore the table in the city of Heracles, if any surplus is sent, which I will account for in the places, and I will give an account of all that falls to Clitarchus regarding both the receipts and the surplus and the symbols, whatever I may account for. If I should receive any additional payment (*), I will arrange it for the royal table within e days, and the action shall be from me and from all that belongs to me, and I will not alienate anything of the possessions or let this transaction be under my name, and it shall be evident to Clitarchus and to those outside of him, of the temple and altar and sanctuary and all the [protection].
May it be well for me who swears, and may he who swears be guilty of impiety.

In the reign of Ptolemy, son of Ptolemy, and Arsinoe, the sibling gods,
in the year (uncertain), on the 28th of Epeiph.
Oath sworn and written by Semtheus, son of Teos, from Heracleopolis, of the workers, who is also called Heracleodoros.
I swear by King Ptolemy, son of King Ptolemy, and Queen Berenice,
and by the sibling gods and the benefactor gods, their parents, and by Isis and Sarapis and all the other local gods and goddesses,
that I will indeed conduct business under Clitarchus, who is under Asclepiades the banker, at the office of Febichis son of Koites, and that I will deliver all revenues properly and justly to the royal treasury.
Whatever bronze money I receive from Clitarchus, apart from what I may exempt (*uncertain reading*), I will restore to the bank in Heracleopolis. If any expense is authorized, whatever I spend in the localities, I will give an account of all revenues to Clitarchus, both of income and expenditure, and the receipts for whatever I spend.
If I incur any debt toward the management, I will deposit it at the royal bank within five days, and the responsibility shall rest upon me and all my possessions, and I shall not alienate any of my property, or else this contract shall be enforceable against me. My accounts shall be open to Clitarchus and his representatives outside of any sanctuary, altar, sacred precinct, or any protection.
If I keep this oath, may it be well with me; but if I break it, may I be guilty of impiety.
