Translation
To Aurelius Horion, senator and archivist of the registry of real property of the Arsinoite nome (2nd hand) from Aurelia Tapais, daughter of Papnouthis and Thaisas, from the [village] of Philadelphia of the division of Herakleides, acting without a guardian in accordance with the customs of the Romans in virtue of the ius liberorum. I purchased (in accordance with a contract) drawn up here in the Arsinoite nome on the present day a building of one story, formerly a mill, in which there is a dilapidated yard, located in the same village of Philadelphia, at a price of three thousand drachmai of silver, equal [three thousand drachmai], from Aurelius Titus Valerius Gaianus, son of Titus Valerius Satrianus also called Serenus and of Iulia, Antinoite and however he is styled, not registered. Accordingly, I submit the application that a provisional entry be made in accordance with the copy of the contract of sale which I have deposited. For when I submit the declaration for this property, I shall show that it belongs to me and is unencumbered and unclaimed by anyone, but if the building should appear to belong to another or to be subject to a previous claim through the record office, there shall be no hindrance from the present entry.
(1st hand) Aurelius Horion, senator and archivist of the registry of real property of the Arsinoite nome . . .
