The double regnal year (year 12 = year 9) reflects the joint reign of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X Alexander. The identification as a cow sale comes from the catalogue record, since the body of the contract is lost.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
