To the keepers of the property records of the Hermopolite nome, from Aurelius Tithoetion also called Sarapammon, son of Hermeinos, of Hermopolis, registered in the quarter of the West Fort. I register for the present 4th year of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the lord, with the consent of Aurelia Kollauchis daughter of Thaesis, son of Kollouchis, from the village of Moirai in the upper Koussite district, acting with her guardian Aurelius Saras son of Horeites, requested by her and appointed by Aurelius Kastor also called Thaumastos, exegetes in office, councillor of the same city of Hermopolis, the right over what she mortgaged to me by a bank contract in the same 4th year and month, near the same Moirai, out of the catoecic holdings (kleroi) of Dionysios and Diokles, 3 arouras lying in two parcels, of which one parcel is 2 arouras and the second parcel 1 aroura, against which she owes me under the same contract, for capital and interest at one drachma per mina monthly, 840 drachmas, to be repaid in Thoth of the coming 5th year, on the other terms contained in the contract, a copy of which I submitted to you in a special filing. Therefore I report and swear by the fortune of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the lord that this is so. Year 4 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus, Hadrianos 19. I, Aurelius Tithoetion also called Sarapammon, have submitted this and sworn the oath. I, Aurelia Kollauchis daughter of Thaesis, consent. I, Aurelius Saras son of Horeites, the appointed guardian, have signed as her guardian and written for her since she does not know letters.

The emperor is Elagabalus (styled Marcus Aurelius Antoninus); Hadrianos 19 corresponds to 15 December. 'Drachmiaios' interest means one drachma per mina per month, i.e. 12% a year.
