[… ? lines lost …] [Year] […] of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, month of Kaisareios 1, in the hamlet of Straton in the division of Herakleides of the Arsinoite nome. Taphiomis daughter of Horos son of Panephremmis, her mother being Tanouphis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos, Persian woman, about 58 years old, with a scar on the right knee, with her guardian, her kinsman Stotoetis son of Horos son of Stotoetis, about 30 years old, with a scar under the right cheek, acknowledges to Thenapynchis daughter of Stotoetis son of Stotoetis, about 13 years old, without distinguishing marks, with her guardian, her father Stotoetis son of Stotoetis, about 35 years old, with a scar on the forehead on the right, that she, the acknowledging party, has received from her 3,000 silver drachmas, immediately, by hand, out of the house, as a deposit, free of all risk and not subject to any deduction, which she shall also repay whenever she chooses […] in accordance with the laws on deposits, the right of execution belonging to Thenapynchis against the acknowledging party and against all her property, as if by a court judgment. Subscriber: Paorsisouchos son of Theabennis, 52 years old, scar […] left. I, Taphiomis daughter of Horos son of Panephremmis, Persian woman, with my guardian, my kinsman Stotoetis son of Horos, acknowledge that I have the 3,000 silver drachmas of the deposit from Thenapynchis, which I shall also repay whenever she chooses, as stated above. Paorsisouchos son of Theabennis wrote on their behalf, since they do not know letters. Registered through the record office of Straton.

Such deposits (parathēkē) often disguised interest-free or credit loans, hence the description as a credit deposit. 'Persian woman' is a legal status label, not ethnicity.
