Opening of a contract, probably a sale, registered through the record office of the Herakleopolite nome under Caracalla, in which an Aurelius aged 62 transfers a whole two-storey house with its boundaries to buyers including Aurelius Philoumenos and a woman acting with her guardian Aurelius Artemidoros, who inherited from someone who died intestate.

In English machine translation

[Year …] of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus [Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Pius] Augustus, in the time of the priests [in office in Alexandria and the others customarily written], month of Dystros, Tybi 10, [through the overseers of the agoranomeion …] of the Herakleopolite nome [above Memphis]. Aurelius […] acknowledges, [… aged about] 62, with light complexion […]anos, his mother being Thenaphynchis, from […], that he has [sold (?)] to Aurelius Philoumenos […] aged about 40, with a scar […] of the city, registered in the [… quarter], […] whose mother is Stetetis, from the same (city), registered […] with her guardian Aurelius Arte[midoros] […] aged about 25, without distinguishing marks, also called […] of [Pek]ysis son of Nikomedes, formerly […] who [died] intestate leaving her as sole [heir] […] a whole two-storey house […] everything from the foundations up to [any height] […] on the north the aforementioned entrance […] of the common entrance and exit, bare […] part, likewise on the south and […] likewise on the east […] the cavalry allotment (kleros), vikoi (?) […] of Aurelius […] […]

The verb of the transaction is lost; 'sold' is a likely but uncertain reading of the surviving ending. The double dating by Macedonian and Egyptian months (Dystros = Tybi) is typical of agoranomic contracts.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
