I register, in accordance with the orders of the most illustrious prefect Calvisius Statianus, a half share of a house and open plots, formerly belonging to the same persons, in which (lives) Harmachis son of Nektheros, grandson of Thamounis, mother Thermouthis daughter of Harmachis. Year 14 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Germanicus Maximus, Pauni 30. I, Harmachis son of Nektheros, the aforementioned, register as stated above. I, Ariston son of Eros, grandson of Apoteus, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.
