Fragment of a sale contract with guarantee clauses TM 29056Arsinoites oder HerakleopolitesII

Small fragment from the middle of a Greek contract, probably a sale, with standard clauses on guarantee of title, penalties against anyone who breaks the agreement, and a statement that the transaction was completed properly. A man named Soterichos is mentioned. It dates to the 2nd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

The beginning and end are lost; identification as a sale rests on the formulaic guarantee (bebaiosis) clause. The word after Soterichos is incomplete and its reading is uncertain.
