End of a loan contract in which Nechoutes borrows barley from Erianoupis and his fellow members of a religious association, to be repaid in Pachon of year 14 with a penalty of one and a half times if late. It was registered by Hermias, agent of Paniskos, at Pathyris around 101-100 BC.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] at the fixed interest, to each and every one of Pathyris. This loan the borrower Nechoutes shall repay to the lenders Erianoupis and his fellow members of the religious association in the month Pachon of the same 14th year, new, clean and unadulterated by anything, and delivered to their house at his own expense, by the measure with which he also received it. If he does not repay within the fixed time, or does not act according to what is written, he shall pay forthwith in the following month the 7 1/6 (?) artabas of barley at one and a half times, or the price that will be current in the market. And let the right of execution belong to Erianoupis and his fellow association members against Nechoutes and against all his property, exacting payment as if by a court judgment. I, Hermias, agent of Paniskos, have registered it.

The 'synthiasitai' were fellow members of a thiasos, a cult association. The quantity of barley ('ζ ϛ') is uncertain as read; the scribe also wrote 'lenders' where 'borrower' is meant in the first clause.
