In English machine translation

Year twelve of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Maximus, Hathyr 9, through the record office of Nilopolis in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Pakysis son of Pakysis grandson of Pakysis, from the village of Nilopolis in the Herakleides division, aged about […], with a scar […] knee, acknowledges to Paoues […] […] that he, the acknowledging party, has received from him forthwith, from hand to hand, 112 drachmas of silver as capital, which Paoues owed to Harpagathes, the brother of Pakysis' father, now deceased, whose heir he is, according to an agreement executed in the sixteenth year of the deified Aelius Antoninus; which agreement he also states has been lost, and it is void for himself and for anyone who produces it; and that the acknowledging party makes no claim in any way concerning what he has received, as stated above, or concerning any written or unwritten matter from former times up to the present day; and if anyone proceeds against him (Paoues), he will repel (the claim) as void.

The original loan contract is declared void because it had been lost, a standard clause protecting the debtor against its later reuse. Pakysis' age and description are lost.
