A loan contract from Hermopolis in which Aurelia Charite, daughter of Amazonios, acting without a guardian by the right of children, acknowledges receiving an interest-bearing loan of 1,300 silver talents. She promises repayment in the month of Epeiph of a fifth indiction and pledges property in the West City quarter, with its fittings, as security (hypallagma).

In English machine translation

Aurelia Charite daughter of Amazonios, and however she is styled, from Hermopolis, knowing letters, acting without a guardian by the right of children, […] of Anubion from the same city […] of Helladios […] former magistrate, councillor, logistes […] I acknowledge that I have received and had measured out from you, from hand to hand, out of your house, an interest-bearing loan of silver in imperial coin, 1,300 talents, total 1,300 talents of silver, which I will repay to you in the month of Epeiph of the auspicious fifth indiction; and for their repayment and payment I hereby pledge to you as security […] […] with the fittings in it and […] […] in the quarter of West City […] […] […] […]

The hypallagma was a pledge of property in which the debtor kept possession until default. The lender's identity is largely lost, apart from the names Anubion and Helladios and the titles former magistrate, councillor and logistes.
