[… lines lost …] In the year after the consulship of Flavius Honorius, the most illustrious boy, and Flavius Euodius, the most distinguished, Pauni 3. I, Aurelius Pityron son of Pityron, the aforementioned, stand surety for the aforementioned Didymos son of Demetrios, whom I shall also produce as stated above.
