A short sale document in which Aurelius Paaus acknowledges selling a white animal, apparently a mare named Tanoub, to Aurelius Ptolemaios son of Pankratios of Karanis for 5,000 silver drachmas, and confirms receipt of the price. It is dated 23 July 275 in the reign of Aurelian, at Karanis in the Arsinoite nome.
The word for the animal is lost; the identification as a mare rests on the catalogue title and the feminine article. The phrase containing "Kanol" is damaged and its sense is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Sale of a Mare). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
