I confess that I have received from you the fire of the produce of the year that has passed, thirteen artabas, which I will also return to you in the month of Epiphany in Antipera, the same amount of fire, thirteen artabas, in the measure that I have received, without difference. If I do not return as I have written, I will pay you the outstanding fire with half and a difference of the time that has passed, concerning the action of you from me and from all that I have. The document is a simple handwritten note written by me, Aurelius Theon, concerning these matters to be rightly and well done, I have acknowledged.
