In English machine translation

In the consulship of Flavius Leontius, the most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Sallustius, the most illustrious, Pharmouthi 22. Aurelius Onnophris son of Psais, his mother being Anna, from the village of Philoneikou in the Herakleopolite nome above Memphis, to Aurelius Papnouthios son of Sarapion, from the village of Neson in the same nome, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received from you as a loan of silver in imperial coin a principal of eighty talents, 80 talents, to be repaid in the month of Mesore of the present consulship without delay and without any dispute. If I do not repay by the aforesaid deadline, I shall pay you the principal and interest for the time overrun, you or your representatives having the right of execution upon me and upon all my property of every kind, as if by legal judgment. The note, which I have issued to you in a single copy for your security, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Onnophris, the aforementioned, have received and been paid the eighty talents of silver, 80 talents, and I shall repay them by the deadline, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent as stated above.

The 80 talents were worth little in the inflated currency of the 4th century. Interest is charged only if repayment is late.
