In English machine translation
Aurelia Apia, daughter of Ammonios, her mother being Thaesis, from the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites, acting without a guardian according to the customs of the Romans by the right of children, to Aurelius Amois, son of Theon, his mother being Ammonilla, from the same city, greetings. I acknowledge that I have from you on deposit, free from all risk and not subject to any deduction, 110 talents of silver of the imperial coinage, which I shall of necessity return to you […]
[…]
This is a duplicate copy of the contract; the sum of 110 talents depends partly on restoration. The 'right of children' (ius liberorum) allowed a woman with enough children to act without a male guardian.
