Copy of a bank payment order through the money-changing bank of Apollophanes son of Ptolemaios. Year 4 of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, month Sebastos 24. Lucius Vettius Diogenes, son of Lucius, one of the discharged cavalrymen, to Marcus Antonius Dionysios, cavalryman of the ala Augusta, troop (turma) of Fronto, the 1,200 drachmas of silver which he borrowed from him according to a synchoresis and a bank payment order through the same bank, so that he has received these and their interest; together with which he has had in hand 700 drachmas of silver, the remainder in accordance with the release registered through the court […] 500 drachmas of silver.

A synchoresis was an Alexandrian contract form registered before a court (kriterion). The end of the text is damaged, so the breakdown of the final sums is uncertain.
