In English machine translation

[recto] ChMG (?) After the consulship of Flavius Philoxenos, the most glorious, Epeiph 24, 5th indiction. Aurelius Klomios son of Petros, his mother being Maria, from the village of Sarapieion in the Hermopolite nome, to Aurelius Petros son of Anoubios, from the village of Prere in the same nome, greetings. While my earlier agreements remain valid and secure, I acknowledge that I have received and borrowed from you, for my own pressing needs, by hand, from your house, as capital, one gold solidus of the emperor's coinage, of good quality, in number one, according to the expenditure (?) of the same village, total 1 gold solidus, [...] which I am ready to pay back [to you] until [...] of the present [...] [fifth indiction, with]out any delay [and dispute and judgement and law]suit [...] when the [term] has passed [...] I will give you [...] according to the [...] [... lines lost ...] [verso] Written acknowledgement of Klomios son of Petros from the village of Sarapieion

The opening letters are likely the Christian symbol chi-mu-gamma; the repayment terms are badly damaged. The phrase about the village's 'expenditure' (exodiasmos) probably refers to the standard of weighing used locally.
