[recto] In the consulship of Gratian, most noble son of our master Valentinian, eternal Augustus, and of Dagalaifus, vir clarissimus, Hathyr 29. To the Aurelii Agathinos son of Didymos and Ieremias son of Achillion and Petros son of Agathinos and […] son of […]on and Sarapion son of Ploutarchos, all councillors of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, curators of the grain for Alexandria, from Aurelius Olympios son of Pinouthios, captain of the boat of Theogonios, councillor. I acknowledge, swearing the revered divine oath of our masters Valentinian and Valens, eternal Augusti, […] to have been brought down from the city of the Oxyrhynchites, in accordance with the written undertakings which I made […] of the fortunate tenth new indiction, new wheat, clean, free of barley and unadulterated, not containing a single grain of barley but being most clean, and the barley found in the cargo having been picked out by barley-sorting, in total 632 artabas, and (I undertake) to deliver the cargo to the divine granaries at Alexandria and to receive receipts from the office of my lord the most distinguished prefect of the annona; and if any dispute should arise on the pretext of barley or any other dirt, since the grain was previously clean and was sorted exactly grain by grain and made free of barley when I received it, clearly I myself shall be liable for the resulting penalty, and I have no claim whatsoever against anyone concerning this, so that I may be blamed in nothing or be liable to the divine oath. I, Aurelius Olympios son of Pinouthios, swore the divine oath and have carried out the barley-sorting as aforesaid. I, Aurelius Thonis, wrote on his behalf since he writes slowly, he signing with me. I, Olympios, have signed. [verso] To be glued together […] of Alexandria […] in the month of November […] barley-sorting.
