Application to the chief judge at Alexandria by Aurelius Herakleides and Aurelius Didymos also called Ploutammon to have a privately written receipt registered publicly. The receipt, copied in full, was issued to their grandfather Herakleides by Apollonios of Heliopolis for interest and part repayment of a loan made in year 10 of Antoninus Pius.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] priest, chief judge [and in charge of the chrematistai] and the [other] courts, […] [from the Aurelii] Herakleides [and] Didymos also called Ploutammon, and however they are styled. A copy of the [aforementioned] simple handwritten receipt [issued] to our grandfather Herakleides [is appended.] [Apollonios] son of Psammis son of Apollonios, mother Demetria, from Heliopolis, formerly from [Oxyrhynchus], to Herakleides son of Apion also called Zosimos son of Dionysios, of the Sosikosmian tribe and Althaean deme, greetings. I have received from you the interest on the 3,000 (?) silver drachmas which I lent you in the tenth year of [Titus Aelius] Antoninus, in Pauni, through the record office of Sinary, at interest of four obols […] being due on these from the same 10th [year] until Mesore of the present 18th [year] of [Titus Aelius Antoni]nus; and further also from the aforementioned [3,000 drachmas] of the capital […], [my claim nonetheless remaining] regarding the remaining 67 drachmas of capital and […] [this receipt], written in my own hand, being valid. (Second hand?) Simple receipt [written] by Apollonios […]. [He] also [registered] the same [receipt] in a public record, [dated in the] twentieth [year] of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus [Antoninus Augustus Pius], Thoth 20. […] […] [verso] Receipt To Ploutammon, Herakleides

The capital figure is read as a numeral (Γ, possibly 3,000 drachmas) and the remaining capital as 67 drachmas; the sums are hard to reconcile in the damaged text. A cheirographon was a private handwritten deed that needed public registration to gain full legal force.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Request for Registration of a Deed). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
