A contract registered before the notary Paniskos at Krokodilopolis in the Pathyrite nome, in which Petearsemtheus lends Psemmenches, a 'Persian of the epigone' from Pathyris, 6 jars of wine without interest. The loan is to be repaid in new wine at the vintage in Mesore, with a penalty of 9 jars if not repaid on time.

In English machine translation

[recto] Year 12, which is also year 9, Tybi 16, at Krokodilopolis, before Paniskos, agoranomos of the upper toparchy of the Pathyrite nome. Petearsemtheus son of Panebchounis, of those from Pathyris, has lent to Psemmenches son of Nechouthes son of Pbekis, Persian of the epigone, of those from the same Pathyris, 6 keramia of wine, without interest. Psemmenches shall repay this loan to Petearsemtheus in the month of Mesore of the aforesaid year, at the wine press, in must, by the four-chous measure, and he shall guarantee it as keeping and acceptable until Hathyr 30 of year 13, which is also year 10. If he does not repay or does not perform within the appointed time as written above, he shall forfeit at once in the following month, instead of the aforesaid 6 keramia of wine, 9 keramia of wine. And Petearsemtheus shall have the right of execution upon Psemmenches the borrower and upon all his property, exacting as if by a court judgment. I, Paniskos, have registered it. [verso] Petearsemtheus has lent to Psemmenches 6 keramia of wine.

The double year date reflects the joint reign of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X Alexander. 'Persian of the epigone' is a legal status label, not an ethnic designation, often used for debtors in Ptolemaic contracts.
