Gaius Julius Apollinarius acknowledges that he has received from Petronia Sarapias a deposit free of all risk: women's garments valued at 300 silver drachmas, and gold ornaments of various kinds weighing in total 32 quarters, which he will keep in his own possession and will return to her whenever demanded, without delay, or he will pay according to the law on deposits, Petronia Sarapias having the right of execution upon all the property of Gaius Julius Apollinarius as if by a court judgment. We request (registration). Year 8 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Phaophi 6. […]

A 'quarter' (tetarton) is a unit of weight for gold, a quarter of a stater. The archidikastes registered private agreements in Alexandria, hence the addressing formula.
