In English machine translation
Year 1 of Publius Helvius Pertinax Augustus, Phamenoth 24, in the market of the metropolis. Sarapion son of Amnios grandson of Heron, aged 45, with a scar on the forehead, has sold a white female donkey.
Signed by me, Melas son of Harpalos.
The buyer is not named; such brief market records of animal sales were signed by the official who registered them. Pertinax reigned only from January to March 193, so documents dated by him are rare.
