Fragmentary contract of sale in which Aurelius Parepsais sells, apparently, a share of property (he holding two parts, with one third belonging to fellow citizens) to Polydeukes for 500 silver drachmas, with guarantees against claims and a promise to register the sale publicly. Dated Pharmouthi 20 in the reign of Valerian and Gallienus (15 April 254-256), probably from the Great Oasis.
The object of sale is lost; the line about one third and two parts suggests a fractional share. The seller's name Parepsais is largely restored.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Sale). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
