To Apollonios and Niko[…], keepers of the property records of the Arsinoite nome, from Apynchis son of Tesenouphis son of Tesenouphis, priest from Soknopaiou Nesos, registered through you. I register in addition what I bought from Tesenouphis and Stotoetis, both sons of Tesenouphis son of Onnophris, priests from the aforementioned village: in the same village, a half share of a single-storey house and courtyard, free of public debt and of any surety obligation, for a price of 160 silver drachmas. Therefore I submit the supplementary registration. Filed (?) in year 2 of Imperator […] […]

The officials are the bibliophylakes enkteseon, keepers of the property-records office, where owners registered acquisitions. Year 2 of the emperor is Domitian's, matching AD 83; the end of the text is lost.
