A loan acknowledgement in which two men of Oxyrhynchus, Timagenes and Mouses, jointly confess receiving one gold solidus from Flavius Dorotheos, a councillor of Upper Kynopolis. They promise to repay it after Easter in Pharmouthi, and a scribe signs for them because they are illiterate.

To Flavius Dorotheos, the respected councillor of the city of Upper Kynopolis, son of Joseph of most excellent memory, Aurelii Timagenes son of Philoxenos, his mother being Anthousa, and Mouses son of Phoibammon, his mother being Thekla, launderer (?), from the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, greetings. We acknowledge, with mutual guarantee, that we have received from you as a loan, from hand to hand out of your house, for our own urgent need, one simple gold solidus, approved and of full weight, total 1 gold solidus of capital, which one gold solidus, free of every risk, we shall necessarily repay with mutual guarantee at the end of holy Easter in the month of Pharmouthi of the present year 137/106, of the present fourteenth indiction, without delay and without any dispute, you having the right of execution against us, as mutual guarantors for the repayment, and against whichever of us you choose, and against all our property. The bond, written in a single copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question we gave our assent.
We, Aurelii Timagenes son of Philoxenos, his mother being Anthousa, and Mouses son of Phoibammon, his mother being Thekla, launderer (?), the aforesaid, have received as a loan the one gold solidus of capital and shall repay it with mutual guarantee at the appointed date as stated above. I, Aurelius Philoxenos son of Ioannes, having been asked, wrote on their behalf, they being present, as they do not know letters.
