Folio:
1 (It was) the year 452, the month Ab, (day) twenty having elapsed, when
2 (this) sealed document, (this) contract of undertaking, was written in Gaz, in
3 the district of Andar, in the presence of Sit, the treasurer of Gaz. (Then this) declaration was made
4 by me, Pap, and by me, Gamanig, and by me, Gazar
5 the sons of Sawug, inhabitants of Gaz, to you, Kanag son of Gugn, and to
6 you, Moyan son of Laguk, inhabitants of Lizg, and to you, Finz-
7 lad, inhabitant of Khag, who are present in Lizg on account of a summons.
8-9 And it so happened that I, Pap, had a dispute and lawsuit with you, Kanag, and with you, Moyan, and with you, Finz-lad. And
10 we made a statement in the presence of Sor the leader of the people of Walakh, and our
11 claim and dispute was given up, and I gave you (sg.!) an undertaking in the following
12 terms, that from tomorrow (and) for (all) future time
13 I Pap, and my brothers, children (and) descendants,
14-15 shall not have the right to dispute with you, Kanag, and with you, Moyan, and with you, Finz-lad, and with your brothers, children (and) descendants,
16 nor to invoke the law. And if it should so happen that I should dispute, then
17 I shall pay a fine—I, Pap, and my brothers, children (and) descendants—
18 to the treasury of Skag Gozgan, of a hundred dirhams of (king) Kawad, and also
19 I shall pay a hundred dirhams of (king) Kawad to you, Kanag, and to you, Moyan,
20 and to you, Finz-lad, and to your brothers, children (and)
21 descendants. And after the fine has been paid, (this) sealed document, (this) contract of undertaking,
22 shall (still) be (considered) good and valid.
