Fragment of a sale contract mentioning Herakleides TM 31872Arsinoites oder Herakleopolites1. Hälfte III

A small fragment of what appears to be a sale contract, mentioning a share of property being sold, a person named Herakleides, and payment in Imperial coinage made directly from hand to hand. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

The phrase 'from hand to hand out of the house' is a standard formula for cash paid directly by the buyer; it is largely restored here, as is the reference to Imperial coinage.
