I, Flavius Papnouthis son of Phileas, [...] (?), from the village of Toou in the Herakleopolite nome, have sworn the divine oath that I have been paid in full by Kyrillos, curator, the sums fixed on account of my military service from the treasury account, 30 solidi, and having been asked the formal question I agreed and released (him).
I, Aurelius Sarapion son of Sarapammon, from the tabularii of Herakleopolis, wrote on his behalf, he being present and not knowing letters.
I, Aurelius Theon son of Onnophris, witness the handing over.
I, Aurelius Kyrillos son of Ischyrion, curator, gave the copy and keep the original receipt with myself.
