Translation: To Panechotes and Ischyrion, farmers of the weavers' tax, from Helen, daughter of Horion, acting with her guardian, her husband, Epinikos, son of Theon. Since I wish to apprentice Amoitas, the minor son of my deceased brother, Pasion, registered in the Temple of Hermes Quarter, that he may learn the art of weaving, from the present fifth year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, to the master weaver Pausiris, son of Ammonios, of the Cavalry Camp Quarter, I therefore ask you to register Amoitas among the apprentices of the said year, as is fitting. Farewell.; (2nd hand) I, Panechotes, have affixed my signature. The fifth year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Sebastos 29, dies Augusta.
