Chairemon son of Paniskos, one of the mercenary cavalrymen from Krokodilopolis, acknowledges that he has received from Paous son of Horos the share falling to him of the loan which Patous son of Horos, father of his mother Tareesis, contracted at the record office in Krokodilopolis, 5,000 bronze drachmas, and the interest on them. Chairemon, being present at the record office, also acknowledged that he has received it and will not make any claim concerning the share of the loan in any way whatsoever, and that he has remitted the penalty of one half. I, Hermias, deputy of Paniskos, have registered it. [verso] Release of Paous son of Horos from Chairemon.

The double year date reflects the joint reign of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X. The 'hemiolia' is the customary penalty of one and a half times the sum for late repayment, here waived.
