A draft settlement agreement (synchoresis) addressed to Protarchos, in which Demetrios son of Sarapion acknowledges that Philammon son of Ammonios has satisfied him over 300 drachmas paid through a bank (100 by Demetrios, 200 by Patron) as the price of papyrus rolls, and renounces all further claims. Written in Alexandria between 16 and 13 BC.

In English machine translation

Sheet (kollema) […] To Protarchos, from Philammon son of Ammonios and from Demetrios son of Sarapion, Philometorean. Concerning the matters in dispute […] Demetrios agrees that neither they nor anyone else on their behalf will proceed against Philammon on account of what they paid for the price of papyrus rolls in the 13th year of Caesar, in the Epagomenal days, Demetrios 100 drachmas through the money-changing bank of Dionysios, and Patron through the same bank in the same year 200 drachmas, so that there are … 300 drachmas … because Demetrios has been satisfied by Philammon concerning the total of 300 drachmas and has received from him by hand out of his house the agreed amount; that the said bank payments are invalid from this moment, and that he will also guarantee that Patron will not proceed against the same Philammon concerning the 200 drachmas of silver nor concerning any other matter whatsoever, written or unwritten, up to the present day, and that no claim is left to Demetrios against Philammon concerning any matter likewise, written or unwritten, from the same day; and that whoever proceeds against Philammon concerning the same matters, Demetrios himself will repel immediately at his own expense, and will pay him whatever Philammon may be made to pay or be damaged by anyone on account of these things, with half as much again, and the damages and expenses, as if by legal judgment, apart from the agreed terms remaining valid, [and further that he, if he transgresses, will be liable to the fixed penalty.] […] Year [1…] of Caesar, Pharmouthi 24.

Protarchos was the official before whom Alexandrian synchoresis agreements were registered. The regnal year in the date is damaged; the payments were made in Augustus' year 13 (18/17 BC).
