Translation

To Theon, farmer of the weavers' tax, from Pausiris, son of Ammonios, resident of the city of Oxyrhynchus, of the Cavalry Camp Quarter. I wish, from the present ninth year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, to apprentice my son, Pausiris, a minor, to the mater weaver, Epinikos, son of Theon, of the Temple of Hermes Quarter, that he may learn the art of weaving and pay the tax paid by persons of his class. Therefore I ask that my son be registered in the class of apprentices, as is fitting. Farewell. The 9th year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Phaophi 22.

(2nd hand) I, Theon, have affixed my signature. The ninth year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Phaophi 23.
