Fragment of an acknowledgement in which Hermione also called Taphyais, daughter of Horites, confirms repayment of a loan of 140 silver drachmas originally made under a contract registered at the agoranomos office in Hermopolis in the reign of Tiberius, and renounces further claims against the debtor Strat[…]. Her husband Herakleides son of Didymos signs as her guardian because she is illiterate.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] according to a contract executed through the agoranomos office in Hermopolis before […] in the […] year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Mecheir, and that neither the acknowledging party Hermione herself nor anyone else on her behalf will proceed against Strat[…] or against his representatives concerning any of these matters in any way […] to be invalid, and the things through it […] them together with the bank payment made to her. The agreement is valid everywhere. I, Hermione also called Taphyais, daughter of Horites, have received the aforementioned 140 silver drachmas and have released (the obligation) as stated above, and I make no claim and I consent to the things written above. I, Herakleides son of Didymos, have signed as guardian of my wife and wrote on her behalf since she does not know letters. […]

The agoranomos office was the public notary bureau where contracts were registered. The debtor's name is preserved only as Strat[…].
