A receipt in which Aurelius Patron of Narmouthis acknowledges receiving 5,000 silver drachmas, the share owed by Aurelius Hatres of Arsinoe, and renounces any further claim. It was written by Sarapion son of Theon for the illiterate Patron in the Arsinoite nome on 11 October 295.

In English machine translation

In the consulship of Tuscus and Anullinus. Aurelius Patron son of Sabinus, foreigner (?), of the village of Narmouthis, to Aurelius Hatres son of Abok, likewise a foreigner (?), of the village of Arsinoe in the division of Herakleides, greetings. I have received from you your share of 5,000 silver drachmas, concerning which I also have no claim against you about any matter whatsoever, written or unwritten, [...], and in reply to the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Patron, have received all your share of 5,000 silver drachmas and I have no claim against you, as stated above. I, Aurelius Sarapion son of Theon, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. Year 12 and year 11 and year 4 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and Constantius and Maximian most illustrious Caesars, Phaophi 13.

The word allophylos, literally 'of another tribe', here describing both parties, is unusual and its exact sense in this context is uncertain; it may mean a person registered outside his village of residence. The 'Maximian' named among the Caesars is Galerius Maximianus.
