Year 16, which is also year 13, Pauni 19.
Loan to Agathinos and Pates against Panas son of Pates, 12 talents of bronze.
The double regnal year reflects the joint reign of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X. "Persian of the descent" (Persês tês epigonês) is a legal-status designation of Ptolemaic Egypt, often used of borrowers; the body says Pauni 9 but the term runs from Pauni 19, the date in the docket and records.
