It was drawn up in Alexandria in February 12 BC.

In English machine translation

To Protarchos from Isidora daughter of Apollonios, with her guardian, her brother Isidoros son of Isidoros, and from Hermias son of Hermias, of the Althaian deme. Isidora agrees that she has received from Hermias, from hand to hand out of the house, the 220 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver which she lent him by an agreement through the same court in year 8 of Caesar, Pharmouthi, and the interest on them, and that the loan agreement is void, together with the […] ⟦mentioned⟧ together with the other loan agreement made in accordance with the voided one ⟦together with the payments made in accordance with the voided one⟧, and that no claim is left to Isidora against Hermias either concerning these matters or concerning anything else whatsoever, written or unwritten, of matters from former times up to the present day […], otherwise she shall be liable immediately to the damages and expenses and the fixed penalty. And Hermias has recovered from Isidora the two documents (?) which he gave her as security, on the dwelling belonging to him in the square colonnade, which was formerly a bank, on condition that likewise Isidora shall not proceed against him in any way. Year 18 of Caesar, Mecheir 30.

Synchoresis was an Alexandrian contract form registered before a court (kriterion) presided over by Protarchos; the text is heavily abbreviated and partly reconstructed from formula. Year 18 of Caesar refers to Augustus.
