Tepheros, daughter of Apeis, granddaughter of Collouthos, about twenty one years old with a scar on her right foot, with as guardian her paternal uncle Chiales, her husband, about sixty years old with a scar on the third finger of his left hand, acknowledges to Protas, son of Nephersos, about sixty eight years old, with a scar on the little finger of his left hand, that she has received from Protas cash one hundred and twelve drachmas of silver and the parapherna, (but) that she cedes the pherne, which they still owe the same Tepheros, daughter of Apeis, because she has received the above mentioned sum of money in accordance with a deed [of cession], which was perfected through the same notary office in the twenty first year of deified Hadrian in the month Mesore, which (deed) Tepheros has also handed over to Protas, equally that she shall not lay any claims to him about any matter whatsoever nor about the dowry gifts, equally that she shall not proceed against Protas about an unbuilt area in Tebtynis estimated at sixty (drachmas), for which Chiales had himself appointed guardian at Tepheros’ request (?), in accordance with a written deed of cession, because she has received also these (drachmas) from Nephersos.
