End of an official notice, probably from the agoranomeion (record office) of Oxyrhynchus, concerning the registration of a sale, most likely of a slave, bought by a man from his full brother Demas. It closes with the instruction 'register it' from the official Klemes, dated 29 August AD 99.
The object of sale is lost; the feminine relative pronoun and age statement suggest a female slave. The price figure after 'talents 10' is uncertain in reading.
