A synchoresis (agreement filed before a court in Alexandria, addressed to Protarchos) in which Nikanor son of Isidoros acknowledges that Eros son of Ptolemaios has repaid a loan of over 100 silver drachmas with interest, made earlier to Eros's wife Tyche and the late Chrysogonos. The loan agreement is cancelled and Nikanor renounces all further claims. Dated 27 March 13 BC (year uncertain).

In English machine translation

Sheet (kollema) […] To Protarchos from Nikanor son of Isidoros, of the Philometoreian deme, and from Eros son of Ptolemaios. Concerning the matters in dispute: Nikanor agrees that he has received from Eros, from hand to hand out of the house, in full discharge also of his wife […] Tyche daughter of Dionysios and further of Chrysogonos son of Isidoros, who has died, the 100 […] drachmas of silver which he lent them by agreement (synchoresis) through the same court in the fourteenth year of Caesar, Epeiph, and the interest; and that the agreement of the loan is void; and that neither Nikanor nor anyone else on his behalf shall proceed against Eros on account of Tyche, either concerning these matters or concerning any other debt or claim whatsoever, written or unwritten, from past times up to the present day; and that Nikanor shall not proceed against the property left by Chrysogonos concerning […] of the same loan and the interest; and, besides the validity of what has been agreed, that if he transgresses these terms he shall further be liable for the damages and the fixed penalty. Year 17 of Caesar, Pharmouthi 1.

Protarchos headed the Alexandrian court (kriterion) before which such synchoresis agreements were registered under Augustus. The year is uncertain because 'Year 17 of Caesar' and the earlier loan date in year 14 depend on readings of the numerals.
