A notice sent by a person whose name is lost, together with his associates, to the agoranomos (the official who registered contracts) at Oxyrhynchus, instructing him to register the sale of a half share in a slave named Dioskoros also called Dionysios, about 30 years old, to Zoilos. It dates to the late 1st century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] and his associates to the agoranomos, greetings. Register a sale to Zoilos son of Tarouthinos (?) son of Dios (?), his mother being Zois (?) daughter of Zoilos, of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus, of a half share of a slave Dioskoros also called Dionysios, about 30 years old, whom he bought from […] son of Apion
[…]
The senders were probably officials of the record office or tax farmers ("associates", metochoi) authorizing the agoranomos to draw up the deed of sale. The parents' names of Zoilos are uncertain in the Greek as written.
