Conservation Status
This papyrus is broken off both at the top and at the bottom, where from the space remaining it cannot be determined whether we have the actual end of the document.Folded vertically three times, the papyrus was broken along the fold down the center, and subsequently repaired. Unfortunately, it was repaired incorrectly, for the two halves were misaligned. The right half should be raised one line in order to realign the text properly. Although much of the text appears to be lost and there is extensive damage along the folds, nevertheless the nature of the document is clear, and in several places the lost text can be restored with confidence.
Palaeographic Description
The hand is a neat cursive with very little ligature.

Translation
"(L.4) . . . (I will deliver it free and clear from) all public taxes and imposts . . . and requisition and contributions up to the sixth year and including the past sixth year itself, because the revenues from it belong to you who purchase in cession. And to you belong the taxes accruing from the same present seventh year. This sale and cession, written in Ammonius' own hand and written in triplicate, is valid wherever it is presented and for whoever presents it on your behalf. And whenever you choose, I will publish it for you. Seventh year of Emperors Caesares Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus Parthicus Maximus and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augusti, Pharmouthi 13 (?).
