An order from Caecilius Clemens to the agoranomos (registry official) of Oxyrhynchus to register the sale of a two-thirds share of a courtyard of a house in the Myrobalanos quarter. The buyer is Asklepiades son of Thomoeris, and the sellers are the brothers Ptolemaios and Glaukias; the price is given in silver and copper. It dates to AD 99-100.
The agoranomos was the official who drew up and registered contracts; such orders were issued after the sale had been checked at the property record office. The copper amount 'Γ' is read here as 3,000 drachmas; the end with the emperor's name is lost.
