[…] and I have received from you the agreed price in silver, 280 drachmas, total 280 drachmas, and I will guarantee her (?) to you with every guarantee, such as she is, not returnable. Year 32 of Lucius Aelius Commodus Caesar the lord, Hathyr 28.
The feminine forms ("this one, such as she is") and the term "not returnable" (anaporiphon) are typical of slave or animal sales, but the object sold is lost. Hathyr 28 is the Egyptian month date.
