Fragment of a sale contract from Hermopolis, 6th century AD, in which a woman sells to a person of rank (addressed as "your excellency") a half share of an estate with buildings, an olive and date-palm grove, a cistern and a water-wheel. The seller renounces all claims and hands over the earlier deed of sale to the buyer.
The estate's name survives only as "Am[…]". "Your excellency" renders eudokimesis, an honorific form of address for a woman of standing.
