Translation
(Recto)
[- - -] the cession (drawn up) by you of thirteen and a half arourai, seven and a half arourai in the neighborhood of Tebtynis and six arourai in the neighborhood of Herakleides's Farmstead, since I, Herodes, also called Herakleides, received from the same Herakleides the whole price of the same thirteen and a half arourai, in full, at once, from hand to hand, out of the house, at the same time that the cession took place, in the twenty-third year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, since he was registered as owner of the same arourai through the bureau of catoecic registry. Therefore do not do otherwise. I retain my claims in respect to the cheirograph which the aforesaid Herakleides made with me concerning service and all the provisions of the same cheirograph. Farewell.
Second year of Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus. Farewell.
(Verso)
Deliver to Kronion, nomographos of Tebtynis.
