If then our sister Nonna cedes […] she herself […] and […]; otherwise, I will give an entrance as far as the main gateway only, leading to the share allotted to you, into the space between the part of the stable and my exedra. And it is not permitted to any of us to transgress any of what is written. The one who proceeds against it shall pay to the other for trickery and harassment 300 myriads of silver denarii.

I, Aurelius Sarapion son of Julianus, from Alexandria, residing in the same village, who also drew up the document, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters, in the presence of the witnesses Herenius son of Harpokration and Longinas son of […], from the same village.
