And, instead of the interest thereon, she, the party of the first part, has agreed with Tapekysis that she and her heirs and whomsoever she may wish shall reside, for such time as the party of the first part ower her the aforesaid money, in the ninth and twenty-seventh common and undivided share of roomed dwellings which belongs to her, the party of the first part, in the village by inheritance from her father, of which the neighbors are, as they have dictated in mutual agreement: on the south building sites of Katoites, the son of Menches, and his associates and for a certain part a portion of a common entrance and exit, on the north a royal road, on the west building sites of Katoites, son of Menches, and his associates, on the east a court belonging to Horos, son of Katoites, the son of Belles, and his brothers. And she, the party of the first part, guarantees the contract with every guarantee against anyone who shall proceed against it in any way whatsoever. And if the party of the first part shall wish to pay back the aforesaid money, let her pay . . . if it shall appear that Tapekysis has undergone expense for repair or construction, the responsability resting upon her, Tapekysis.

(2nd hand) I, Tauris, daughter of Ninis with my guardian, my relative Horos, son of Orsenouphis, acknowledge that I have received from Tapekysis the sixty drachmai in sivler from hand to hand and instead of the interest thereon I agree that she and her heirs and [whomsoever she may wish] shall reside for so long as I [owe] the aforesaid money in the [ninth and] twenty-seventh [common] and undivided [share] of roomed dwellings belonging to me in [the village] by inheritance from my father, of which the neighbors are: on the south building sites of Katoites, son of Menches, and his associates [and for a certain] part a common entrance [and exit, on the north] a royal road, on the west building sites of Katoites, son of Menches, [and his associates, on the east] a courtyard belonging to [Horos], son of Katoites, [the son of Belles, and his] brothers; and I shall guarantee (the contract) [with every guarantee against anyone] who shall proceed against it [in any way. And if] I wish [to pay to Tapekysis the aforesaid] money, [I shall repay . . ., if it shall appear that Tapekysis has undergone expense for repair or construction, the responsability resting upon] Tapekysis [as aforesaid. I, Dios, son of Kraton, wrote] for them as they are illiterate.
(3rd hand) I, Tapekysis, [daughter of Horos, with my guardian], my husband [Horos], the son of [Horos], have received [the agreement], as stated above. I, [Souchas], son of Sochotes, wrote [for them] as they are illiterate.
