1	(It is) I Paeion who writes to Kako. About the matter of the tremissis
2	which you owe me: I have been paid by you and do not have any
3	business with you concerning it because you have given it to me. If anyone
4	proceeds against you for it, I am ready to give two tremissis
5	to you as a fine and, furthermore, if a security is produced against you,
6	(it is) invalid. I, Paeion, agree to this release ¹i.e. from the financial obligation.
7	I, Petros, the most humble deacon, (because) Paeion asked
8	me, I wrote this release and I am witness.

¹ i.e. from the financial obligation
