In English machine translation

Copy of sale (?) […] Year 7, Hadrianos 30. To Lucretius Nilus, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Apollonios son of Ischyrion son of Hierakion, his mother being Tet[…]tis, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, who is buying from Pausanias son of To[…]os son of Pau…[…]n, Athenian also called Marathonian, of the victors in the sacred games and exempt from taxes, his slave inherited from his father, Serenos, about 19 years old, with a white eye. […] I submit the petition […] the slave […] […] Year 7 of the Emperors Caesars Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus Parthicus Maximus and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augusti, month of Hadrianos 30. I, Apollonios son of Ischyrion, have submitted it.

Hadrianos was an honorific month name used at this period for Choiak. The 'white eye' is an identifying mark, probably a leucoma (clouding of the eye).
