Opening of an order from Theon son of Sarapion to the agoranomos (market and notarial official) of Oxyrhynchus, instructing him to register a sale in favour of Herakleios son of Horos. It dates to about AD 85; the rest of the text, with the details of the sale, is lost.
The agoranomos was the official who drew up and registered contracts. Orders of this kind usually concern the sale of a slave, but the object of the sale is lost here.
