In English machine translation

In the fourth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, on the eighteenth of the month Hyperberetaios, Mesore 18, at Soknopaiou Nesos in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Horos son of Harpagathes, about 40 years old, with a scar in the middle of the forehead, has lent to Panephrommis son of Herieus, Persian of the epigone, about 60 years old, with a scar on the forehead on the left, and to his wife Thermouthis daughter of Satabous, Persian, about 35 years old, snub-nosed (?), with a scar on the left shin, with her guardian the aforementioned husband, each acting as surety for the other for payment, so that they have from him from hand to hand out of his house, of coined silver as capital, in approved currency, 84 drachmas, at interest of 1 drachma per mina each month. This loan of the 84 silver drachmas the borrowers shall repay to Horos or to his representatives in the month of Pharmouthi of the coming fifth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus […] Panephrommis and his wife; and if they do not repay as stated above, they shall pay the loan increased by half, and the interest simply, Horos and his representatives having the right of execution upon the borrowers and upon all their possessions, as if by legal judgment. […]

The interest of 1 drachma per mina per month equals 12 percent a year, the standard rate. The security clause concerning a house and building plot described in the catalogue title falls in the lost part of the text.
