Year 7 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, month Hadrianos (Choiak) […], at Ptolemais Euergetis in the Arsinoite nome. The Aurelii Ploution, about 40 years old, with a scar on the forehead, and Apianos, about 32 years old, with a scar on the forehead on the left, both sons of Heron son of […], and Aphrodisios son of Sarapion son of […], about 42 years old, with a scar on the left calf, the three from the quarter of Apollonios Hierakeion of Other Places, acknowledge to […] Aurelius Demetrios son of Neilos, former eutheniarch of the most splendid city of the Alexandrians and former gymnasiarch of the city of the Arsinoites, that they, the acknowledging parties, have received from him, on mutual security, from hand to hand, a capital sum of 240 silver drachmas, and likewise that they have had measured out to them as a loan in kind 4 artabas of barley, all of which they will repay in full, likewise on mutual security, in the month Pauni of the current year, the drachmas at the (estate?) of Eunous, and the barley in the metropolis by the 4-choinix dromos measure. If they do not repay within the term, they shall pay to Aurelius, for the drachmas the accruing interest at one drachma per mina per month, and for the barley the highest price current at the time, and upon demand made by Aurelius Demetrios, the right of execution being against the acknowledging parties, and against whichever of them he chooses, and against all their property, as if by legal judgment. Asked the formal question whether this has been done thus rightly and properly, the aforementioned parties acknowledged it to one another. We, Ploution and Apianos, both sons of Heron, and Aphrodisios son of Sarapion, from the quarter of Apollonios Hierakeion, have received from Demetrios son of Neilos 240 silver drachmas and 4 artabas of barley, and we will repay them within the term, as stated above. […] I wrote on their behalf, as they are illiterate.
