- I, Harmiysis, son of Petesouchos, a Persian of the epigone, agree that for two years from the aforesaid time I will present myself to work and do everything that is ordered, and to weave whatever the said Heron, son of Haryotes, wishes every day, in return for which the said Heron shall pay in my behalf for the aforesaid period of time, annually, the poll tax in the village of Tebtynis and the weaver's tax and my expenses and the surtax of one third and the work on the enbankments and the bath tax and the tax on fountains, and on account of payments in kind over the aforesaid period of time, monthly, one artab of wheat measured by the four-choinix measure of Tebtynis, and on account of clothing and oil, annually, twenty-eight drachmai of silver. And I will not absent myself by day from Heron's establishment, but will accompany him all over the nome. And for each day that I do not remain with him, I will pay to Heron two drachmai of silver, and I will do everything as aforesaid. Sarapion, son of Ptolemaios, wrote for him because he is illliterate.
- (2nd hand) Heron, son of Haryotes. The agreement was made with me as aforesaid.
