Fragmentary contract from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome recording the repayment of a loan of silver drachmas with interest owed by Heron, declaring the earlier security void and barring further claims, while reserving the rights against the mother Helene. It carries subscriptions of the parties and a registration note by the notary, dated in year 11 of an emperor styled Germanicus Dacicus Parthicus.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] the […] drachmas of silver […] […] four and the interest which Heron owes […] to the one who […] according to the aforementioned security […] drachmas, to be invalid, and not to proceed against […] without prejudice to our mother Helene concerning what she owes […] […] of the capital, as aforesaid.

Year 11 of Imperator Caesar […] Germanicus Dacicus Parthicus Augustus, 25. Registered through the same nomographos.

The imperial titulature Germanicus Dacicus Parthicus points to Trajan, but a Trajanic year 11 (AD 107/8) predates the title Parthicus; the date may therefore refer to the deified Trajan's father-style formula used for Hadrian, and should be treated with caution. A nomographos was the notary who drew up and registered contracts.
