In English machine translation

Year thirteen of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Choiak 11, at Tebtynis in the division of Polemon of the Arsinoite nome. Kronion son of Cheos, about 49 years old, with a scar on the little finger of his left hand, and his [wife] Thenapynchis daughter of Patynis, about 40 years old, with a scar on her right knee, and the children of both, Kronion, about 25 years old, with a scar on his right forearm, and Taorsenouphis, who is also the wife of her brother Kronion, about 22 years old, with a scar on her right shin, the four being mutual sureties for payment, the women each with her above-written husband as guardian, acknowledge to Herakleides son of Didymos the younger, grandson of Herodes, [about 19 years old, with a scar on his forehead], that they have received from Herakleides himself [immediately from hand to hand a loan of silver, of] capital 236 drachmas [with interest], the repayment of which they shall also necessarily [make] […]

The sum of 236 drachmas and much of the lender's description are editorial restorations. The marriage of the brother Kronion to his sister Taorsenouphis reflects the full-sibling marriages attested in Roman Egypt.
