English Translation

[Under the authority of] Trajan Caesar, the lord, without any reservation or evasion: if they do not repay as it is written, let them immediately repay one and a half times the amount, with interest, the right of action belonging to Philip, from both the debtors themselves and from all their possessions, just as if by legal judgment. This agreement is valid.

I, Dios son of Petearios, a Persian by descent, and my wife Sar[...]ia daughter of Aphrodisios, Persine, mutually guarantee, with my authority, that we owe Philip son of Aphrodisios an interest-bearing loan of forty silver drachmas and the price of one and a half artabas of wheat measured by the four-choenix measure of the village, and we will repay it in the month Pauni of the coming year as stated above. Herakleides son of Soterichos wrote on their behalf because they do not know letters.

I, Philip son of Aphrodisios, acknowledge that the agreement is as stated above.

Agreement of Dios and his wife with Philip for 40 drachmas and wheat, 1½ artabas.
