Translation into English

Year of Antoninus Caesar, the Lord, concerning those who happened to be under Sarapion, in Eutychia. It was decreed by Sarapion that one hundred sixty drachmas of silver were to be paid. She remained with him for a little while and escaped, seizing the securities of her transaction and many of his. Therefore, it is claimed according to the matters concerning such things, by both Calpurnian and Maximian and Neocydus, who were adjudicating, that Sarapion should return to him the payment and whatever he may have seized. When the orator Lycarion read certain judgments of Calpurnian and Maximian and Neocydus, Callinicus the orator on behalf of Sarapion said: "I will read a letter of the governor Honoratus, which was written not long ago, in which he also speaks concerning these judgments that have been read in an unequal case. You have heard that those who sell a slave for simple money are to be held blameless, if someone brings such a charge against them; for if there is no inquiry recorded, the seller is to be held blameless in the payment of the fee. If there is a simple money recorded, the transaction was simple, and the seller is to be held blameless, for he who is my advocate has said nothing; for the simple transaction of the case is to be held blameless."

English Translation

[In the year ... of Antoninus Caesar, our lord ... concerning the affairs]
[of someone] who petitioned against Sarapion ... concerning Eutychia. He bought [her] from Sarapion for the sum of one thousand one hundred sixty drachmas of silver. But she, after staying with him for a short time, ran away, having seized the securities of her own sale and many of his belongings. Therefore, he demands, according to the decisions previously made in such cases by Calpurnianus, Maximianus, and Neokydes, who had jurisdiction, that Sarapion repay him the price and whatever else she stole. After the rhetor Lykarion read certain judgments of Calpurnianus, Maximianus, and Neokydes, the rhetor Kallinikos spoke on behalf of Sarapion: "I will read one letter of the governor Honoratus, written not long ago, in which he also pronounces upon these judgments just read ... in a dissimilar case. You have heard that those who sell a slave for a simple sum of money are not liable when someone brings such an accusation against them as this man does. For if no special warranty is written, the seller is not liable for repayment of the price. If a simple sum is recorded, the sale was simple, and the one whom I represent is not liable at all, for nothing ..."
