Year 6 of Imperator Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, month of Loios, Pauni 28, at Kerkesoucha in the division of Herakleides of the Arsinoite nome. Petosiris son of Klodios, aged about 50, with a scar on the 1st finger of the left hand, from Attinou (?), acknowledges to Panemphremis son of Isis (?), son of Apynchis, aged about 35, with a scar in the middle of the forehead, that he has sold to him a female donkey, having its first teeth (?), black, not to be returned, and he has received the price, 160 silver drachmas. The acknowledging party guarantees the sale. Subscribers: for the acknowledging party, Mysthes son of Melas; for the other […]. (2nd hand) I, Petosiris son of Klodios, have sold as stated above. I, Mysthes son of Melas, wrote for him because he does not know letters.

Anaporriphos means the animal is sold as is, not returnable for defects; protobolos refers to the animal having just cut its first teeth, indicating its age.
