Valeria Diodora, aged about 45, with a mole by the left eyebrow and a scar on the right calf, with her husband Limnaios son of Petheus as guardian, aged about 50, with a scar on the right shin, acknowledges to Tasoucharion daughter of Ptolemaios, aged about 35, without distinguishing marks, with her kinsman Pasion son of Sokrates as guardian, aged about 28, with a scar on the middle of the forehead, that she has received from her, from hand to hand out of the house, 408 silver drachmas, the repayment of which the acknowledging party shall necessarily make in the month Pa[…]]
of the coming third year of Antoninus Caesar the lord.
