[recto]
[…] for maintenance (?), 2 drachmas. Pausis son of Amneus, of the Hermopolite nome, aged 45, dark-skinned, with a mole under the right eye; Petosiris son of Dorion, aged 18, dark-skinned.
Petesambis, 4 obols.
[verso]
Pauni 10. Pausis son of Amneus with Petosiris.
The term trophitis refers to maintenance or alimentary provision; the text appears to be a summary or abstract of a contract, with a docket on the verso. The opening is lost, so the exact terms are unclear.
