A receipt drawn up as an agreement at Tebtynis, in which Charition daughter of Herakleios, acting with her brother Serapion as guardian, acknowledges receiving 54 drachmas from Kronion son of Cheos, his tenth share of a debt under a mutual guarantee, and renounces further claims. Both parties were illiterate and had others sign for them.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] and that neither Charition nor those acting for her will proceed against Kronion or those acting for him concerning these matters, nor concerning anything else whatsoever arising from the mutual guarantee, in any way, up to the present day. I, Charition daughter of Herakleios, with my guardian, my brother Serapion, have received from Kronion the 54 drachmas, being the tenth part falling to him, and I will not proceed concerning these matters nor concerning anything else whatsoever, as stated above. I, Serapion, wrote on her behalf since she is illiterate. Kronion son of Cheos: the receipt has been made as stated above. I, Maron son of Maron, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. Registered through the record office in Tebtynis. [verso] Agreement of Charition with Kronion of receipt of 54 drachmas.

The 'mutual guarantee' (allelengye) was joint liability among several debtors, each responsible for the whole; Kronion here pays his one-tenth share. No date is preserved in the surviving text.
