Description

This papyrus contains the latter part of an acknowledgement of a sale of two and a half arouras of land for the price of 370 drachmas by two brothers, Aurelius Aion and Aurelius Pharitas. The contract ends with the usual guarantees, including the guarantee of the prior right of payment to the fiscus. The signature, written by a scribe for the illiterate brothers, includes the stipulation that the past taxes in grain and money remain the responsibility of the sellers, with no time limit specified.
