In the reign of Berenike, goddess Epiphanes, year 1, and the other matters of the public formula as written in Alexandria, in the month of Hyperberetaios, also Mesore, in the city of the Oxyrhynchites of the Thebaid. I, Straton son of Nikomachos, […] of the first friends and of the chiliarchs of the sword-bearers and of the katoikic cavalrymen, swear by Queen Berenike, goddess Epiphanes, and her ancestors and all the other gods, to Theon son of …ios, Persian, of the katoikic cavalrymen and successor to his father's allotment, both of us of the Street of Kleopatra Aphrodite, that I will abide by everything in the written contract of agreement which I have drawn up for you through the record office of the mnemones in the city of the Oxyrhynchites on the present day, according to which I have ceded to you from my allotment the 5 arouras by rectangular measure of grain-bearing sown land which I hold from the allotment of Phainippos near the village of Peenno, whose neighbours are set out in the agreement, and that I, Straton, will not act fraudulently concerning the cession of the land nor concerning anything else of the things declared in the agreement nor concerning this oath, on any pretext whatever. If […], and whenever I am called to account […] from you, apart from the cession of the land remaining valid for you, as it indeed is, I agree that my allotment shall also be taken back into the royal domain and that I shall be liable to the oath. I, Straton, have sworn the oath written above.
