I acknowledge that, as soon as you command me, I must convey to you through the grapheion at Tebtynis the vineyard of one and one-half aroura with vines trained on trees which is in my possession near Ibion Eikosipentarouron, which vineyard I have purchased from Didymos, our common brother, who is also your husband. I am to receive nothing at all, and no guarantee is forthcoming except for my descendants and those who shall bring suit in my name. Let this chirograph be valid. The second year of Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, Mecheir 5.
