A loan acknowledgment in which Aurelius Antiourios son of Ptolas of Karanis received 2 artabas of wheat, apparently including interest of one third, to be repaid in Pauni of the eleventh indiction. It was written at Karanis in December 336, with Aurelius Melas signing for the illiterate borrower.

In English machine translation

[Aurelius Antio]urios son of Ptolas, his mother being […], [from the village of K]aranis in the Arsinoite nome, acknowledges […] […] […] […] […] [with] a third, 2 artabas, [2 artabas, which] he must necessarily repay [by the deadline] in the month of Pauni of the eleventh indiction, the produce new, clean, unadulterated, by the four-choinix measure, without delay; and upon demand the right of execution [shall belong] to […] against the one acknowledging and against [his property], as if by a court judgment […] […] clean (?) and valid (?); and having been asked the formal question, he acknowledged. In the consulship of Iulius Nepotianus and Tettius Facundus, the most illustrious, Choiak 9. I, Aurelius Antiourios, have received the 2 artabas of wheat, 2 artabas, and I will repay them as stated above. I, Aurelius Melas son of Sotas, from the same village, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate.

The phrase "with a third" likely refers to the interest added to the principal (hemiolia-type arrangement); the lender's name is lost. Choiak 9 corresponds to 5 December.
