We voluntarily and freely confess, swearing by Almighty God and the piety of the victorious fortune, to guarantee and accept from your admirable authority Aurelius Onnophris, son of Pamouthios, formerly a deacon, mother Thekla, also originating from the same estate and previously remaining there in the status of a freedman, on condition that we prepare him to give to your admirable authority the remainder of the gold stolen by him from your house a few days ago. Whenever he is sought by us from your admirable authority on any day for this reason, we will publicly bring and deliver him in this city outside the sacred precincts, divine symbols, and any place of refuge, where we also received him in the prison of the hospital of the same holy church, without any excuse given or to be given to him, solely for this matter. If we fail to do this, we confess jointly that we, his guarantors, are responsible to answer for all claims against him, pledging all our present and future possessions specifically and generally as security and lawful pledge. This guarantee is valid, simply written, and upon questioning we have acknowledged it.
