Give orders to measure out to Theodoros and Theugenes and Nikanor, 25-aroura holders, Epigonoi, a loan for cultivation expenses, which they will repay from the new crop together with the rents in year 36: twenty artabas of barley-wheat or old barley. Farewell. Year 35, Thoth 30. [verso] To Theodoros (?), Thrasymedes.
