Fragment of a contract, probably a sale of house plots, from the Arsinoite nome in the 2nd century AD. It names Horigenes also called Harpokration and a Sarapias, mentions the neighbours of the property, windows, a price of 300 drachmas, and the buyer's right to own and hold the property near the village of Mendes in the Herakleides division.

In English machine translation

The name appears both as Horogenes and, in restored form, Horigenes; both refer to the same man also called Harpokration. The phrase "to own and have full title" is the standard guarantee clause of sale contracts.
