In English machine translation

Year fifteen of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Phamenoth 1, in Soknopaiou Nesos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Stotoetis son of Stotoetis, grandson of Horos, called Kanis, aged about 28, with a scar on the forehead on the right, acknowledges to Panouphis son of Tesenouphis, aged about 41, with a scar in the middle of the forehead, that he, the acknowledging party, has sold to him the two female camels belonging to him, one branded on the thigh with an Arabic mark, the other unbranded, these being as they are, not subject to return; and that the acknowledging party has received the agreed price in full, immediately, from hand to hand, a capital sum of 1,200 silver drachmas; and that the acknowledging party will guarantee the terms of this sale at all times with every guarantee. Writer on his behalf: Neilos son of Syros, aged about 26, with a scar on the right shin. (2nd hand?) I, Stotoetis son of Stotoetis, acknowledge that I have sold to Paanoupis the two camels belonging to me […] […] […]

The buyer's name appears as Panouphis in the body and Paanoupis in the subscription. The sale is 'not subject to return' (anaporriphos), meaning the buyer cannot reject the animals afterward for defects.
