I, Aurelius Herakleios also called Artemidoros, plain creditor: the drachmas were transferred to me through the bank,
[2,000, as] aforesaid. I, Aurelius Harpokration […]: the 2,000 drachmas of silver were transferred through me, as aforesaid. I, Aurelia Artemis, with my guardian
Aurelius Kephalas, have bought as aforesaid.
The seller acts without a guardian (presumably under the ius liberorum), while the buyer acts with her guardian Aurelius Kephalas. The creditor is called 'plain' (psilos), apparently meaning an unsecured creditor.
