I, Aurelius Apollonios also called Eudaimon, son of Demetrios son of Eudaimon, of Hermopolis, registered in the East City quarter, have assented to this bank payment and have received from my nephew Aurelius Tithoetion also called Sarapammon, son of Herminos also called Achilleus, registered in the West Fort quarter, in discharge of what his deceased mother Eudaimonis also called Phintys owed me under a bank payment order made in the 29th year of the deified Commodus, on the 1st of the month Mecheir, namely a principal of 1 talent of silver and interest at the rate of three obols, simple, 1,200 silver drachmas, total 1,200 drachmas, besides the sums I received in instalments by hand and besides what I remitted as a favour. And I will not proceed in any way for the cancellation of the same payment order and of the specifications made through it and of the distraint which I brought last year, and we make no claim against each other, the written agreement which I and his mother made in the same 29th year, Tybi, remaining valid as it stands. Year 5 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Felix and Marcus Aurelius Alexander Caesar, the Augusti, Tybi 9. I, Aurelius Apollonios also called Eudaimon, son of Demetrios, have received and discharged and make no claim, as stated above. I, Aurelius Tithoetion also called Sarapammon, have paid as stated above.

The regnal year is that of Elagabalus (Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) jointly with Severus Alexander as Caesar. The figure after 'total' is not written out in the edition; 'three-obol interest' denotes a monthly rate of 3 obols per mina, i.e. 6% a year.
