In English machine translation

† I, John son of Patermouthios, from the district of Djeme, in the nome of Hermonthis, write to Daniel son of Pachom, in the kastron of Djeme: Since I asked you and you gave me a portion of a solidus for me for date-palms (?), I am ready to give it to you in the coming [...], without any dispute. For security, therefore, I have drawn up this firm and valid security, wherever it is produced. Written in the month of Thoth, day 1, […]. John, I agree. † Moses son of Philotheos, I am witness. John son of Shenoute, I am witness. Shenoute son of Simeon, I am witness. †

The phrase ⲁϫⲛ ⲃⲛⲛⲉ is uncertain; it may mean 'for dates' (payment in kind) rather than describing the loan. Djeme was the town built within the temple of Medinet Habu in western Thebes.
