A sale contract in which Hermias son of Beltistos acknowledges selling a red cow with crooked horns for 120 silver drachmas, with a guarantee and a right to return the animal if the buyer is dissatisfied.

In English machine translation

The clause on returning the cow is unusual; the reading of "three" followed by a symbol is uncertain and may refer to days or to a sum. The note "duplicate" (diptych) indicates the document was drawn up in two copies.
