The transport and cost of the clean papyrus and the official deposition are to be incumbent on you, Marion, and yoru partner. We have received forthwith the salary agreed upon for the summary lists, as above stated, and the contracts we hold from each other are to remain valid. We have prepared this cheirograph in two copies. I, Diogenes, wrote this document.
