Declaration of property bought at Karanis, addressed to the record keepers TM 12035either Karanis, Herakleidou meris, or Arsinoiton polis, Arsinoite nome, province of Egyptca. 69-79 A.D.

A property declaration submitted to the keepers of the public record office of the Arsinoite nome by Ptolemaios son of Apion, a resident of the nome capital's Goose-herds quarter. He registers additional property he bought at Karanis from a woman, Thenapynchis, measuring 200 cubits and bought for a price in silver; the rest is lost.

In English machine translation

The "public library" (demosia bibliotheke) was the nome's archive of property records, not a library of books. The seller's name Thenapynchis is partly restored, and the place of writing may have been the nome capital rather than Karanis.
