In English machine translation
Panther and Hermogenes, appointed by Tiberius Claudius Theon, who is in charge of the katoikic land registrations (katalochismoi) of Egypt, to the agoranomoi, greetings.
Of Pollia daughter of Epicharios, with as guardian […] Servilius Philemon, to whom has been ceded by Tetheus daughter of Petosiris son of Artemon, her mother being Thatres, with as guardian her own son Petosiris son of Pausirion son of Pausirion, from the 10 arouras belonging to her near Mouchinaxap (?) of the same toparchy, from the kleroi of Theodotos and Drimakos, which lie in two parcels of 5 arouras each, namely from the 5 arouras in the southern parcel, from the northern part of these, extending from west to east to the end of the same 5 arouras, […] land purchased (?) at 12 drachmas for the contribution of the katoikoi […]
[…]
Katoikic land was land originally allotted to military settlers (katoikoi); its transfer by cession had to be registered through the katalochismoi office before the notaries could draw up the deed. The end of the text, including the size of the ceded plot, is lost.
