The end of a handwritten contract of sale, drawn up in duplicate and written by Sokrates also called Ammonios, dated 15 May 160 AD. A subscription by Ischyrion son of Ammonios acknowledges that he and his brother received the further 800 drachmas stated in the contract.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] […] […] […] in accordance with this sale. This handwritten contract, which we have issued in duplicate, shall be valid. I, Sokrates also called Ammonios, wrote the body (of the text). Year 23 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, Pachon 20. And it is free of encumbrance (?). I, Ischyrion son of Ammonios, together with my brother, have received from hand (?) also the additional 800 drachmas, as stated above.

Only the closing clauses and subscription survive, so the object of the sale is unknown. The phrases translated 'from hand' (ex oikou) and 'additional' (exothen) drachmas are technical and their exact sense here is uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
