The end of a sale contract from the Herakleopolite nome, around AD 200, in which Onnophris and Nemesiaina (with her brother as guardian) sell to Thaesis a share of three arouras of land with a small house for 300 silver drachmas. It preserves the sellers' and buyer's subscriptions and the note of the scribe who wrote for the illiterate parties.

[… ? lines lost …] […] at the forthcoming registration (demosiosis) … private […]. The agreement is valid. We, Onnophris also called […] and Nemesiaina, with Nemesiaina's guardian her own brother Onnophris also called Chairemon, have sold to Thaesis the aforesaid share of the three arouras, on which there is a small house, and we have received the price, 300 drachmas of silver, and I will guarantee it as aforesaid. I, Thaesis, with my guardian, my husband Klasis, have bought as aforesaid. I, Ophellis also called Nemesion, son of Sarapion, from Herakleopolis, wrote on their behalf because they do not know letters.

Demosiosis refers to the official registration of a private contract in the public archive, giving it public validity. The opening of the contract, with the full description of the property, is lost.
