- I, Tamystha, daughter of Orseus, my mother being Tapettheus, with my guardian, my husband Polemon, son of Dionysios, his mother being Taanouboin, acknowledge that I have sold to Dionysios, son of Polemon, his mother being Tamystha, the two shares that belong to me from the five shares of a two-story house inherited from my father, and of the courtyard and all the appurtenances, common and undivided, in Talei; the neighbors of the entire house and courtyard being on the south and east the courtyard formerly that of Nikolaos, on the north the common entrance and exit, on the west the house of Didymos the weaver. And I have received the price in full, and I guarantee the sale with every guarantee as aforesaid. Onnophris, son of Marsisouchos, wrote for them because they are illiterate.
- (2nd hand) I, Dionysios, son of Polemon, my mother being Tamystha. The sale was made to me as aforesaid. Patron, son of Heron, wrote for him because he is illiterate.
