Order to the agoranomos to register the sale of half a house TM 20577Oxyrhynchos

An order from Apollonios, acting through a chain of agents for Claudius Antoninus, instructing the agoranomos (registry official) at Oxyrhynchus to register a sale. The purchase concerns a half share of a two-storeyed house near the Sarapeion in the Dekate quarter, bought from a man whose grandfather and father were both named Horos, dated in the reign of Domitian.

In English machine translation

The agoranomos was the official who drew up and registered contracts; such orders authorised the registration of a sale once the tax had been paid. The silver amount is lost in a restored gap, so the figure of 600 drachmas is conjectural.
