They confess to each other the strength of Heradion's mother from the city of Oxyrhynchus and Heracles Sarapion, son of the mother of Leon of Heracleides from the same city. The elder Ischyrion has been entrusted to Heracles, the brother of the one who has been changed, the son (?). To Thonis, I have given permission for the study of the art being taught from the new moon of the next month, Phaiophis, for a period of five years, and he will be present with the teacher for the specified time each day from sunrise to sunset, doing all that is permitted to him by the same teacher as among the same students, being nourished by Ischyrion. And for the first two years and seven months of the third year, Heracles will not give anything for the child's wages, but for the remaining five months of the same third year, Heracles will provide for the wages of the same student at the rate of twelve drachmas per month, and in the fourth year likewise at the rate of sixteen drachmas per month, and in the fifth year likewise at the rate of twenty-four drachmas per month, and Heracles will provide for the same student in the fourth and twentieth year a tunic worth sixteen drachmas, and in the next year another tunic worth twenty drachmas, and in the twenty-sixth year likewise another tunic worth twenty-four drachmas, and in the twenty-seventh year another tunic worth twenty-eight drachmas, and in the twenty-eighth year likewise another tunic worth thirty-two drachmas. The boy will be excused for the festivals for twenty days each year, with none of these wages being deducted from the time he is provided for, if he is given a wage, but if he is absent for more than these days or becomes ill or misbehaves or for any other reason, Ischyrion will provide him to the teacher for the same number of days remaining and doing all as is required without pay, being nourished by the same Ischyrion, because he stands in these matters. Heracles, being pleased with all these things, will teach the student the art being taught in the five-year period as he himself knows and will provide the monthly wages as is required from the eighth month of the third year. And it shall not be permitted for any of them to violate anything of the provisions, or the violator shall pay to the remaining honorable one one hundred drachmas and to the public treasury the same. This is the agreement. (Year) 24 of the Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus, the August, of the Armenian, Medic, Parthian, Sarmatian, Germanic, the Greatest Thoth.
