Fragmentary end of a loan contract in which Aurelius Anatolios son of Hermias of Hermopolis acknowledges an interest-free loan of 40 carats, to be repaid by a term in Choiak of a fourth indiction. If he fails to repay, the lender may sell 73 jars of wine he holds in storage, at 40 jars per solidus less 4 carats; the contract is witnessed and completed by the notary Dioskoros at Antinoopolis.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] months […] reckoned from the aforewritten day, which is of the month Choiak […] of the present fourth indiction, without interest; and when the aforesaid term has passed, if I do not repay you the said 40 carats, I give you permission to dispose of the 73 jars of wine (stored) with you in storage […] 40 jars to the solidus less 4 carats by the standard of Antinoe, without any dispute or suit or judgment or any quibbling whatsoever, all my property present and future being pledged to you for this and for all the aforesaid […] for the payment and full repayment of the same 40 carats; and on all these terms, which are valid, with my signature, having been asked the formal question, I have agreed. † I, Aurelius Anatolios son of Hermias, from Hermopolis, the aforewritten, […] and I will repay as aforesaid. I, Flavius Antoninus, […] rhetor from Panopolis, being present in Antinoe, bear witness to the document, having heard it from the party who made it. † I, Petros son of Mousaios, bear witness to the document, having heard it from the party who made it. † [Notary's subscription in Latin letters:] completed through Dioskoros […] […] … dedit (?) and … […] […]

The carat (keration) was a fraction of the gold solidus, 1/24 by standard reckoning; prices are given by the Antinoe weight standard. The notary's completion formula is written in Greek words in Latin letters, partly illegible.
