Year eight of Imperator Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, month of Germanikeios, second day, at Soknopaiou Nesos in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Herieus son of Papeis son of […], […] Persian of the Epigone, about thirty years old, with a scar on the little finger of the left hand, acknowledges to Panephremmis son of Pakysis, about forty years old, with a scar on the right shin, that he, the acknowledging party, has received from him on the spot, by hand, out of his house, a capital sum of sixty drachmas of coined imperial silver, and the price of […] artabas of new, clean, unadulterated wheat, by the quarter-measure of the god Soknopaios, which the acknowledging party will also repay to Panephremmis in the month of Pauni of the current year 8, without delay, the right of execution lying with […] against Herieus and against all his property, as if by a court judgment. Writer for the acknowledging party: Apollonios son of Soterichos, about 20 years old, with a scar […] left; and for the other, Leonides son of Zoilos, about […] years old, with a scar […] on the right […].

Germanikeios was Domitian's honorific name for the month Pachon. The document is classed as a sale with advance payment, with the lender paying now for wheat to be delivered after the harvest; the number of artabas is lost.
