A bank record of a deposit: Tiberius Claudius Fronton places 144 silver drachmas through the bank of Apollonios and Sabinus with two men of the Gymnasium quarter, Heuremon and Ptolemaios, who jointly undertake to repay it on demand. It was written at Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe) in the Fayum on 5 March 130.

In English machine translation

[recto] In the fourteenth year of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Phamenoth 9, through the bank of Apollonios and Sabinus at Tameia (?), Tiberius Claudius Fronton to Heuremon son of Melas son of Mysthes, aged about 25, with a scar on the left cheek, from the Gymnasium quarter, and to Ptolemaios son of Herakleides son of Mysthes, aged about 32, with a scar in the middle of the forehead, from the same quarter, the two Persians of the Epigone, that they have as a deposit, which they will also repay, each standing surety for the other, whenever Fronton chooses, without any delay or evasion, 144 drachmas of silver, total 144 drachmas. [verso] Deposit of Euporas, herdsman.

"Persians of the Epigone" was a legal status label commonly used for debtors in Roman Egypt rather than a true ethnic designation. The verso docket names a herdsman Euporas, apparently unconnected to the parties in the main text; 'Tameia' is a quarter of the city where the bank stood.
