Fragmentary end of a document from Oxyrhynchus, apparently an authorization for registering a sale, in which a woman acting with her father Kastor son of Herakleides as guardian is involved in a transaction priced at 300 silver drachmas plus 22 talents of copper. It is dated 19 April AD 89 and closes with an order to Dionysios to register it.

Dionysios, register it.
The closing order 'register it' (anagrapson) suggests an instruction to a record office (agoranomeion) to draw up a sale contract. The copper sum's final figure (Γ, read as 3,000 drachmas) is uncertain.
