An Alexandrian agreement (synchoresis) addressed to the court official Protarchos, in which Apollonios son of Theon acknowledges that Martha, freedwoman of the late Protarchos son of Polemon, has repaid her half share of a 200-drachma debt with interest. Apollonios renounces further claims against her while keeping his claim against the deceased's son Protarchos for the other half.

In English machine translation

Sheet (kollema) [number lost] To Protarchos, from Apollonios son of Theon and from Martha daughter of Protarchos, with her guardian Herakleides son of Herakleides. Whereas Apollonios has submitted to Artemidoros the chief judge (archidikastes), in the present 20th year of Caesar, in Hathyr, a memorandum making a demand from Martha and also from Protarchos son of Protarchos for 200 silver drachmas and interest, which he wrote were owed to him by the deceased Protarchos son of Polemon, patron of Martha and father of Protarchos, on the basis of a note of hand which the latter issued, attested by the agreements which Protarchos submitted; and whereas he has now been satisfied by Martha for the half share falling to her, and has received from her in cash from her house the half share incumbent on her: Apollonios agrees that neither he nor anyone else on his behalf will proceed against her or against the property left by the deceased patron Protarchos concerning the half share of the capital falling to Martha [...] of the interest [...] nor concerning the [...] nor concerning any other debt at all or claim or written or unwritten matter of those arising from former times up to the present day [...] declaring (?) [...] [...] the things agreed; and that he, if he transgresses, shall be liable to the damages and the fixed penalty, Apollonios not being prejudiced in his action against Protarchos concerning the other half share of the capital, of the 100 silver drachmas and their interest [...] [...] [...]

Martha is styled 'daughter of Protarchos' but the text calls him her patron, so she was his freedwoman. The 20th year of Caesar refers to Augustus; the latter part of the release is largely restored on the basis of parallel Alexandrian agreements.
