Year 8 of Imperator Caesar Trajan Augustus, month Artemisios 21, Phamenoth 21, at Soknopaiou Nesos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Onnophris son of Harpaesis, Persian of the Epigone, about 25 years old, with a scar on the left eyebrow, acknowledges to Horos the younger son of Tesenouphis, about 28 years old, with a scar on the forehead at the left, that he, the acknowledging party, has received from him in cash from his house a capital sum of 200 drachmas of coined silver as a deposit, free from all risk and not subject to any deduction, which the acknowledging party will repay to Horos whenever Horos chooses, without any delay or evasion. If he does not repay, the acknowledging party shall pay Horos the deposit twofold according to the law of deposits, Horos having the right of execution upon the acknowledging party, upon whatever he chooses of his, and upon all his property, as if by a court judgment. Subscribers: for the acknowledging party, Soterichos […], about 30 years old, with a scar on the forehead […]; for the other party, Tryphon son of Chairemon […] […] […] […] […] coin(?) […] […] deposit […] […]

"Persian of the Epigone" was a legal status label that by this period often signalled a debtor's liability, not ethnic origin. Such deposit contracts frequently disguised loans.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
