Translation
I, Taorseus, daughter of Orsenouphis, my mother being Thaesis, with my guardian, Orseus, my brother by the same father and mother, acknowledge that I have sold according to the Egyptian contracts to Psosneus, son of Andronikos, his mother being Thaesis, the half share that belongs to me of a two-story house inherited from my father and all the appurtenances common and undivided in Tebtynis. The neighbors of the whole house are on the south the house of . . ., son of Herodes, and of his brothers, on the north and east the vacant lots of the same sons(?), . . . and his brother, on the west the royal road. And I have received from Psosneus the entire price agreed upon, in full, from hand to hand, out of the house, and I guarantee the sale with every guarantee in every respect forever as aforesaid. Eutychos, son of Eutychos, wrote for them because they are illiterate.
(2nd hand) Psosneus, son of Andronikos. The sale was made to me as aforesaid.
