In English machine translation

Year 23 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus, month Kaisarios-Mesore 24, at Ptolemais Euergetis of the Arsinoite nome. Sotas son of Stotoetis, grandson of Sotas, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos, about 38 years old, with a scar on the thigh of the right leg, acknowledges to Isidoros son of Ischyrion, grandson of Ischyrion, from the quarter of Moeris, about 42 years old, without distinguishing marks, that he, the acknowledging party, has received from him 100 silver drachmas, immediately, from hand to hand, as a loan […] […]

Kaisarios was the honorific name for the month Mesore under the Roman emperors. The text breaks off after the word for loan, so interest and repayment terms do not survive.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Mutuo di danaro). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
