In English machine translation
From Hermias son of Symmachos, of the Epiphaneian deme,
and from Philargyros son of Kaisar, Alexandrian.
Hermias agrees to give back the simple note of hand which Philargyros issued to him in former times, through the bank of Hermias, for 600 silver drachmas, […] Hermias himself has received from Philargyros both these and, for the time that has elapsed since then, the interest on them at two drachmas, because he […] his own note of hand; and that no claim is left to Hermias or to anyone else on his behalf against Philargyros, either concerning this or concerning any other demand whatsoever, written or unwritten, from former times up to the present day; and that he will at once, at his own expense, repel anyone who proceeds against Philargyros' note of hand; or else, besides the agreed terms remaining valid, he as transgressor shall further be liable for the damages and the fixed penalty.
[…] Year 18 of Caesar, Mecheir 30.
A synchoresis was an Alexandrian contract form submitted to a court for registration; the interest rate 'two-drachma' means 2% per month. Line 9 is too damaged to translate securely.
