Sale of part of a house involving Persine TM 29078Arsinoites oder HerakleopolitesII

Fragment of a contract, probably a sale of part of a house or building plot, in which a woman named Persine, aged about sixty, is involved and payment is made through the bank of Herakleides. The text gives property boundaries and measurements in cubits and includes the standard guarantee clause against claims. It dates to the 2nd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

The guarantee (bebaiosis) clause promises to defend the buyer's title against all claims and to keep the property free of mortgage. "Germanicus" is probably part of an imperial title in the dating formula.
