1 On the 7th of Kislev, that is day 4 of the month of Thoth, year 9 of Artaxerxes 2the king,
2said Jehoḥen daughter of Meshullach, a lady of Elephantine the fortress, to Meshullam son of
3Zaccur, a Jew of Elephantine the fortress, saying: You gave me a loan of silver,
44, that is four, (3) shekels (4) by the stone(-weight)s of the king, at its interest. It will increase upon me
5(at the rate of) silver, 2 hallurs for 1 shekel for 1 month. (That) was silver, 8 hallurs
6for one month. If the interest (be)come the capital, the interest shall increase like the capital,
7one like one. And if a second year come and I have not paid you your silver
8and its interest, which is written in this document, you Meshullam or your children have right
9to take for yourself any security which you will find (belonging) to me — house of bricks, silver or gold,
10bronze or iron, slave or handmaiden, barley, emmer — or any food which you will find (belonging) to me
11until you have full (payment) of your silver and its interest. And I shall not be able to say to you, ^saying:^ “I paid you
12your silver and its interest” while this document is in your hand. And I shall not be able to complain Husband
13against you before prefect or judge, saying: “You took from me a security” while
14this (13) document (14) is in your hand. And if I die and have not paid you this silver and ^its^ interest
15it will be my children (who) shall pay you this silver and its interest. And if
16they not pay this silver and its interest, you, Meshullam, have right
17to take for yourself any food or security which you will find (belonging) to them until you have full (payment)
18of your silver and its interest. And they shall not be able to complain against you before prefect
19or judge while this document is in your hand. Moreover, should they go into a suit, they shall not prevail
20while this document is in your hand. Wrote Nathan son of Anani this document
21at the instruction of Jehoḥen. And the witnesses herein: (2nd hand) witness Osea son of Galgul;
22(3rd hand) Hodaviah son of Gedaliah; (4th hand) Ahio son of Pelatiah; (5th hand) Agur son of Ahio.
