Receipt from a Hermopolite man, aged about 49, to Hermammon son of Hermaios, acknowledging payment of the price of half an aroura of land (or its crop for the current year) previously sold to Chinychis son of Poremanthis. He had already been paid 8 drachmas through Chinychis and now receives the remaining 28 drachmas; the end of the document is lost.
The sender's name is only partly legible. The sale appears to concern the crop (genēma) of the current year rather than the land itself; Peri Polin Ano is a toparchy (district) of the Hermopolite nome.
