Record of a sale made in the market of Alexandrou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome on 10 August 208. A man, son of Heradion, about 70 years old, sold a mouse-coloured animal (probably a donkey) to Apynchis son of Apynchis for 120 drachmas.
The animal's name is lost; 'mouse-coloured' (grey) is typical of donkeys in such market sale records. Such texts register sales of livestock made at village markets.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Receipt for Sale of Livestock). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
