In English machine translation

I, Onnophris son of Psenkebkis, my mother being Tamareus, acknowledge that I have sold to Psoiphis son of Psoiphis, his mother being Tetosiris, by this present sale, from the present day for all time, the 2 parts out of 5 parts belonging and falling to me, which are out of 2 parts of my paternal share of house-plots, namely a collapsed house and adjoining courtyards and old lots and a gateway and upper rooms and all appurtenances, in Tebtynis near the temple of Isis, held in common and undivided with my brothers by the same father and with Psoiphis son of Marapkamis and Nebtynis son of Psoiphis. Of these the neighbours of the old collapsed house are: on the south the house of the sons of Psyphis son of Thothis; on the north the house of the aforementioned Psyphis son of Marepkamis; on the west the aforementioned adjoining lots; on the east the lots of Lysimachos son of Lysimachos. The neighbours of the adjoining courtyards and lots are: on the south, north and west royal streets; on the east the aforementioned old house and, for part of the way, the house and court of the aforementioned Psyphis son of Marepkamis, and likewise, for part of the way, the house, court and lots of the aforementioned sons of Psyphis son of Thothis. And I have received from Psyphis the agreed price in full, immediately, by hand, from the house, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee against public and private claims and every seizure for all time. My wife Tetosiris daughter of Psyphis, her mother being Thaubastis, consents to this sale and will not proceed against it for all time nor make any claim, nor will anyone else on her behalf, as stated above. Dionysios son of Maron wrote for them because they do not know letters. I, Psyphis son of Psyphis, my mother being Tetosiris: the sale has been made to me as stated above.

The buyer's name appears as both Psoiphis and Psyphis, variant spellings of the same Egyptian name. This is a duplicate copy of the subscription.
