Cheos's mother, Thaesis, daughter of Psosneus, about forty years old, with a scar on her right knee, consents to the sale and agrees not to proceed against it nor to bring any claim against it.

And I have received the price in full and guarantee the sale from all public debts and from the artab tax and naubion tax, and from every impost for former times up to the past twenty-first year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus and for the past twenty-first year. My mother, Thaesis, daughter of Psosneus, consents as aforesaid. . . . Orseus wrote for them because they are illiterate.
