Apparatus Criticus:
Diogenes, also called Sarapion, son of Sarapion, grandson of Diogenes, whose mother is Didyme, daughter of Euphranor, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, of Persian descent, to Ammonios, son of Sarapion, grandson of Ammonios, from the same city, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received and had measured out from you one hundred seventy artabas of wheat (totaling one hundred seventy artabas of wheat as principal), which I will measure out on your behalf to the public granary and will deliver to you the receipt for this amount clear of all expenses in the month Pauni of the current seventh year of the Emperor Trajan Caesar, our lord, without any surcharge. If I fail to measure it out, I will repay it with a penalty of one and a half times the amount, with the right of execution against me and all my property as if by legal judgment, without prejudice to your rights regarding what I owed your deceased brother Pausanias in this matter. My handwritten signature, Diogenes also called Sarapion, is valid and binding everywhere and for everyone who produces it.
