Acknowledgement of a loan in which Aurelius Atisios son of Paulos, from the village of Sebennytos, confirms that he owes 4 gold solidi to Flavius Euphronios, an imperial agent (magistrianus), and promises to repay them on Pauni 15 of a first indiction. A literate man wrote it for the illiterate debtor; it comes from the Arsinoite nome, 4th-5th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] my written security, that I have received from you and owe you 4 good gold solidi of full weight, gold solidi 4, and that I will make repayment of these to you in the month of Pauni 15, at the time of the beginning of the fortunate first indiction, without delay and without any dispute, the right of execution being yours against all my possessions as if by legal judgment. And having been asked the formal question, I, Aurelius Atisios son of Paulos, the aforementioned, acknowledge that I have received and owe to Flavius Euphronios the 4 gold solidi of full weight, and I will repay them at the appointed date as stated above. I, Aurelius Elias son of Hellas, having been asked, wrote on his behalf, he being present and illiterate. Executed through me, Paulos. † [verso] […] from the village of Sebennytos, 4 gold solidi, to Flavius Euphronios, the most devoted magistrianus.

A magistrianus was an agent of the office of the master of offices (magister officiorum). The beginning of the document, with the date and the parties' full names, is lost.
