1In the 41st year of the reign of Ptolemy, Eureas the son of Proitos being priest in his 3rd year, in the month Artemisios.
2Elaphion, a Syrian woman, her legal guardian being Pantarkes, has paid to Antipatros the Arcadian as support for herself 300 drachmas of silver.
3Let it not be permitted to Antipatros nor to anyone else acting for Antipatros to bring suit against Elaphion in order to exact support or enslave her on
4any pretext. Or else let their proceedings be invalid and let Antipatros pay back
5to Elaphion or to him who acts for Elaphion a penalty of 3000 drachmas. Let this contract be valid
6everywhere, wherever Elaphion or another acting for Elaphion may produce it against Antipatros, exactly as
7written by Elaphion. Witnesses: Pankrates the Arcadian, Kaphisias the Phokian, Diphilos the Phokian, Epinikos the Chalcidian,
8Athenagoras the Alexandrian, Xenokles the Rhodian.
