Greek subscriptions to a Demotic sale contract in which Tasouchos, daughter of Sekonopis, sells her inherited third share of a house and courtyard at Talei in the Polemon division of the Arsinoite nome to Patynis, son of Harapis. Both parties were illiterate and had others write for them; the Greek date at the top corresponds to 28 August AD 18.

Year 4 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Mesore, 5th intercalary day. For issue. [… 18 lines lost …] I, [Tasouchos] daughter of Sekonopis, my mother being Soueris, acknowledge that I have sold according to Egyptian contracts to Patynis son of Harapis, his mother being Tapetesouchos, the [third] share belonging to me from my mother of a house and courtyard, held in common and undivided, and of all their appurtenances, in Talei of the Polemon division, the neighbours of the whole maternal [share] being: [on the south] the royal street, on the north the plots of Horos son of Horos and his brothers, on the west the house of Nektonnephis son of Sekonopis, on the east [the property] of Akousilaos son of Nei[…] […]; and I have received the agreed price in full, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee for all time, and I will do the other things as [stated above]. Papontos son of Petosouchos wrote on her behalf (?) because she does not know letters. I, Patynis son of Harapis: the sale of the third maternal share of a house and courtyard has been made to me, and I have paid the price as stated above. Eutychos son of Eutychos wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

The main contract was in Demotic and is lost here; only the Greek date heading and subscriptions survive. The word after Petosouchos (ωοιως) is unclear in the edition.
