Aurelius Gounthos son of Pamounis, his mother being […], aged about […], with a scar on the index finger of the left hand, from the village of Skinepoeis in the Lykopolite nome, to Aurelius […] son of Isidoros, from Hermopolis the most splendid, greetings.
I acknowledge that I have sold to you for all time my male donkey, sand-coloured, with its first teeth (?), which I have handed over to you in the same Hermopolis, for the price agreed between us of 40 talents of silver of imperial coinage, total 40 talents of silver, which I receive from you here and now from hand to hand in full; and I will guarantee it to you with every guarantee against anyone who will proceed against it or lay claim to it at any time. The sale is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
In the consulship of Iunius Bassus and Flavius Ablabius, the most illustrious prefects, Choiak 25.
I, Aurelius Gounthos son of Pamounis, have sold the donkey and received the price and will guarantee it as stated above. I, Aurelius Theodoros son of Dion, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
