Thaeisios - from the city of Oxyrhynchus.

According to a loan made through the office of Talaw, in the fourth year of Phaois - I lent to Myrtilus, the freedman of Heliodorus, Diodorus, from the same city, one hundred sixty drachmas of silver as principal.

Of interest at the rate of one drachma for each mina per month from the same Phaois for a term of three months, in the fourth year, it has been indicated to me that the transaction is to be made from all his possessions and to be given to me whenever I wish to take possession through the same library of Myrtilus' name until I receive it, which possession I intend to give as it is appropriate, and I declare that it has been taken through the same library for the incoming of the ninth year of the god Aelius Antoninus by Demetria, the daughter of Artemon.

It is to be noted that the principal is two hundred drachmas of interest at the rate of one drachma in Talaw in the regions from the north along the road to Eisis, my own.

With the benefactors, and to Paus, in the twelfth year of the god Aelius Antoninus, by Apollonios, the son of Amoi, of the Harpaesians.
