(No Latin text was extracted from the document.)
After the consulship of Valentinian Augustus and Flavius Valens Augustus.
From Hermius Philammon of the most illustrious city, I write the following.
I acknowledge that I have received and borrowed from you for my personal and necessary use, through your hand, the use of a single gold coin, a royal stamped coin, two in number, which are made of gold.
Therefore, as these are unblemished and safe, I will give you each month, for the sake of the agreed upon interest, a third of the gold amount calculated from the next month, Athyr of the current year, without fail until the repayment of the two coins that I will also return to you whenever you choose, along with the accrued interest from the transaction, which will be made from me and from all that I possess, just as it is due. The letter is authoritative and, when questioned, I acknowledged it.
To Philo, I have the two gold coins and I will return them along with the accrued interest as agreed.
Written by me, Philopon.
[Handwritten] of Philammon of Hermius.
