I, Kronion, son of Patynis, [my mother being Didyme, acknowledge that I have sold] to Pimos, son of Orsenouphis, [his mother being Telemasis], the vacant lots [that belong] to me [with all the fixtures that are in them, in Talei] of the division of Polemon, [of which the measurements are from south] to north twenty [cubits], from west to east [sixteen(?) cubits . . .], or as many as there may be, and [all] the appurtenances. The neighbors are on the south the royal road, on the north the vacant lots of Petermouthis, son of Orseus, on the west the farmyard of Horos, son of Herakles, on the east the vacant lot of Harmiysis, son of Sokeus. And I have received from the purchaser the entire price agreed upon, in full, from hand to hand, out of the house, and I guarantee the sale with every guarantee forever, and I shall do the rest as aforesaid. Heliodoros, son of Apollonides, wrote for him because he is illiterate.
