[… Maximus Dacicus] Maximus Sarm[aticus]
[Maximus] […] Thoth 16.
[…] Tybi 1 according to the Egyptians.
[…] I, [Pse]namounis, the aforementioned, have received the aforementioned 100 [silver drachmas] and I will repay them [in the month of Pharmou]thi, and having been asked the formal question I agreed.
I, [Aurelius Basileid]es also called Sarapodoros, wrote on his behalf [at his request], I who also wrote the body of the document.
The imperial titles Dacicus and Sarmaticus point to Maximinus Thrax and his son Maximus. The reference to Tybi 1 'according to the Egyptians' reflects use of the old Egyptian calendar alongside the Alexandrian one.
