In English machine translation

Copy of a loan on mortgage of one seventh share of the house and courtyard in Soknopaiou Nesos of the Herakleides division. Panephremmis son of Erieus, Persian of the epigone, (acknowledges) that he has received as a loan from Stotoetis son of Tesenouphis the elder, from hand to hand out of the house, 64 drachmas 4 obols of coined silver as capital, at interest of 1 drachma per mina each month, which I will also repay in the month of Tybi of the coming tenth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, as aforesaid. I, Thases daughter of Nesthnephis, Persian woman, with as guardian her aforementioned husband Panephremmis, consent to all the foregoing, as aforesaid. Panephremmis son of Papais wrote for them because they do not know letters. Copy of the registration mark: Year 9 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Mecheir 9. Registered through the record office in Soknopaiou Nesos.

"Persian of the epigone" was a legal status designation, not an ethnic one, often used for borrowers in this period. Interest of 1 drachma per mina per month equals 12 percent a year.
