A receipt in which Aurelius Makarios and Aurelius Ision acknowledge that a debtor has repaid in full a debt recorded in a written note in the name of Titoueis, and that the pledges given as security have been returned. It comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome, about AD 375.
In English machine translation
The Aurelii Makarios and Ision to […] also called N[…], greetings. We have been paid in full by you what you owe us on the account of the note of hand in the name of Titoueis,
and you have received back from us the pledges, and we have no claim against you concerning this.
I, Aurelius Makarios, wrote the whole as stated above.
The debtor's name is largely lost. The signature spells the name Makarios as 'Macharios', a common phonetic variation.
