A bank payment order (diagraphe) from the reign of Antoninus Pius, issued through Harpokration's bank in Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe).

In English machine translation

Year […] of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Pharmouthi 2[…], through the bank of Harpokration on the Square of Hermouthiake (quarter). Philologos son of Herakleides son of Philologos, of the Auximetoreian tribe and the Althaieus deme, to Domitia Elpis, freedwoman of Domitia […], with as guardian her fellow freedman Gaius Domitius Eutyches, as the price of what he has bought from her, namely a half share, held in common and undivided, of a house and courtyard in the Apollonios Parembole quarter, in accordance with the public conveyance (oikonomia) made out to him: 400 drachmas of silver, total 400 drachmas.

The tribe and deme names show the buyer held Alexandrian-style citizen status associated with Antinoopolis or the metropolis elites. The year number and exact day are lost, so the date can only be placed within Antoninus Pius' reign.
