"Of the proconsul Flavius Amantius and Albinus, the most illustrious, to Aurelius Achilleus Asclepiades, the prytanis and gymnasiarch, councilor of the illustrious and most illustrious city of Oxyrhynchus, from Aurelius Paris.
From Harpokratios, from the goddess Amita, the water-bringer. I swear by the venerable deity the oath of our lords the Augusti, willingly and voluntarily to guarantee Aurelius Aion, from the same vineyard keeper to remain in the same settlement and to preside over the beauty of the same place, obeying the agreements made by him or by me, the guarantor, to be compelled to submit all matters concerning him, not to complain in any way or to be liable to the deity's oath.
Of the proconsul Pauni. Aurelius Paris, son of Harpokratios, swore the divine oath and I guarantee Aurelius Aion, son of Aion, the vineyard keeper, as it is stated and having been questioned, I confessed that I wrote on behalf of him, saying that he did not know letters.
(hand 2) Through me, Harpalus is completed.
(hand 3) Guarantee of Aion, from the goddess Amita."
