[… lines lost …] […] … […] … […] […]anos from the same […] We acknowledge that we have received [from you] through Heliodoros and Noumenios at the bank at the Sarapeion near Oxyrhynchus city 100 drachmas [of silver] of principal, [which] our aforementioned [father] Onnophris lent [to you] according to a handwritten contract made through [the same] bank [in] former times, which [we declare] has been lost, and [that we] make no claim against you about anything [at all] up to the [present day], but also that we are [obliged at all times] to guarantee to you what has been agreed with every guarantee up to the [present day, and] that [the loan document] is invalid for us [and for anyone who] produces it. The receipt is valid. [Year …] [of Imperator] Caesar […] [… lines lost …]

The lost loan document (cheirographon) is declared invalid should anyone produce it. Much of the wording is restored from standard formulas; the date is lost apart from an imperial titulature.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
