E[…] […], full brothers, sons of the late Is[…], from the village of Leukogion of the Herakleopolite nome, to the most reverend Heraklides, priest, son of Matthias, himself also formerly a priest, from the same estate of the same nome, greetings. We acknowledge that we have received from you from hand to hand and that we owe you […] 50 solidi of gold […]

The brothers' names are badly damaged and the rest of the contract is lost. The nomismation (solidus) was the standard Byzantine gold coin.
