[...] two [quarters], and of uncoined (silver), weight [...] pounds [...] a new white (garment) with Achaean border [...] [...] used, with Achaean border [...] linen cloths, linen dalmatics [...] two new [cara]callas, of which one [...] [that they will not bring a claim] nor dispute [...] [concerning what] they received as stated above [...] [neither] concerning these things nor concerning any other matter [...] [up to the] present day in any way [...] with himself all the aforesaid [...] that it has been done properly; having asked each other the formal question, they agreed. [...] from Piperous [...] [and we will not] proceed against her concerning the things [...] Aurelia Piperous [...] I, Tyrannos son of Dionysios, [wrote on her behalf, as she is illiterate].
