[fragment 1] † In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I, Petros son of H[…], and Ouoanofre son of Kloti, and Sous[o] son of Pathermoute, we write to you, Daniel: Since need arose, I […] … [fragment 2] … holokottinos (solidus) to me. I have not yet paid you anything, and if I come forth (?) to you for [it] […] whether [fragment 3] any person at all, I will give you one gold holokottinos without any dispute. I, Souso son of Patermoute, I too agree. […] … Pahom (?) son of Laula (?), I am witness. † † I, Elias son of the blessed Kome, I am witness. […] I agree to it. I, Daniel, I accept the security (?) … […] security. † I, Christodoros (?), I drew up the security […] I agree to it. I, … son of Misael […] […] [Dan]iel son of Pahom, I am witness.

The holokottinos is the Byzantine gold solidus. Several lines, including the scribe's name and the witness subscriptions, are damaged and their reading is uncertain.
