A contract in which Artemidoros the younger, son of Artemidoros, acknowledges selling a white female donkey to Chairemon son of Satabous for 60 silver drachmas, received in full. It includes a penalty clause for breach of the agreement and is dated in the reign of Hadrian, probably at Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum.
