I, Claudius Germanus also called […], have been registered as her guardian and wrote on her behalf because she does not know letters. I, Horion, secretary […] […] a copy.

The opening of the declaration, with the household details, is lost; only the closing subscriptions survive. The final phrase "to ison" marks the text as a copy, and Horion's title may be that of a village or district secretary.
