[… lines lost …] […]ios […] […] son of Nikanor, [Eudaimon], for five years [from 1 Hathyr of the] present third [year of Imperator] Caesar Nerva [Trajan Augustus] Germanicus, so that he may be taught by Apollonarion the trade of a sompheion (?) maker, [the] apprentice [not being absent by day or] by night [from the] house of Apollonarion, [who will feed] and clothe [him for the] period. The [80 drachmas] agreed [as wages] for the whole [period] Ischyras has received [from] Apollonarion [from hand to hand out of the house. For whatever] time Eudaimon [plays truant] or is ill, Ischyras [shall supply] him for an equal [period on] the same terms. And Ischyras shall not [be permitted to] take him away within [the period]. But if Eudaimon does not […] as aforesaid, Ischyras shall be liable to immediate arrest until he fulfils everything and pays the 80 drachmas of silver of the wages and the cost of maintenance and the damages and expenses and another 60 drachmas of silver, the right of execution being against Ischyras and [his] property. On these terms Apollonarion also shall not transgress in anything, or she shall be liable to the same penalty, while there remains valid the other agreement which Apollonarion holds from Ischyras for the teaching of his daughter Syairous. We request (approval). Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus, Phaophi 16. Dio[…]: registered.
