Herakleia daughter of Chrysippos, acting with her son Sarapion as guardian, notifies the keepers of the property records of the Arsinoite nome that she intends to convey seven parts of house property in the quarter of Horion's Hierakeion to Thermoutharion daughter of Palamedes, for 600 silver drachmas. It was written at Ptolemais Euergetis in AD 140, with an official's signature at the top.
