Year six of Imperator Caesar Domitian Augustus, month of Apellaios the nineteenth, Phaophi 19, at Theadelphia in the division of Themistos of the Arsinoite nome. Didymos son of Didymos, Persian of the Epigone, aged about 42, with a scar on the first finger of the left hand, acknowledges to Petermouthis son of Posidonios, aged about 40, with a scar on the little finger of the left hand, that he has received from him 80 drachmas of silver as a deposit free of every risk, which Didymos will also return to Petermouthis whenever Petermouthis chooses, without any delay or evasion. If he does not repay as written, let him pay forthwith double the deposit and the damages in accordance with the law of deposits, Petermouthis having the right of execution against Didymos and against all his property, as if by a court judgement. […] […] Didymos […] […] […] Didymos son of Didymos, Persian of the Epigone […] […] […] […]

"Persian of the Epigone" was a legal status label, not an ethnic designation, often used for debtors in Roman-period Egypt. Double-date: Macedonian month Apellaios 19 equated with Egyptian Phaophi 19.
