Hieroneikes

Olympionikes

Of Horeo

Of the also Anesthios the terrible as of years

From the city of Oxyrhynchus Aurelia without the lord trading according to the Romans

Customs of children justly from the same city greetings.

I confess to have acted from now into the eternal time that which is mine by inheritance

Of Aurelius Horeo

Of the also Anesthios the terrible

Of the council of the same city

Half part of the house and of the portico and of all the shrines

Situated in the same city at the crossroads

And newly coming into the public stream from the north

That which is declared public stream

Of the terrible and of others the agreed ones among themselves for honor

Of the same half part of the house and of all the shrines of the August silver

Of the currency three thousand drachmas

Five hundred

There I have separated from you equally by hand from full and having been asked by you

I acknowledged. Therefore from now on to hold you and to dominate with descendants and those from you partaking of the sold

To you by me as is intended

Half parts of the house and of all the shrines and to use

And to manage concerning it as if you should choose, which I will also provide to you

Secure through all from all assurance and pure from both

Of the registration of men and of agriculture royal and substantial and of all

Types and from debt and from all public and private and from all other things. All the manner of approach that will come or will be made for this reason I will necessarily keep away immediately

From my own expenses just as from justice. The main transaction is written in two copies,

Which whenever you should choose public transactions through the register not needing another of mine

Of goodwill or of partaking because from here I am pleased with the

Public transaction being made by you, concerning these things I have rightly and well acknowledged having been asked by you.

Of the Emperor Caesar

Paradoxical

I have done the half part of the declared house and of all the shrines

And I have separated the drachmas of honor

Three thousand five hundred

And I will confirm as is intended.

English Translation

Sacred victor,
Olympic victor,
(son) of Hōreiōn, also called Anthestios, of such-and-such age,
from the city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelia, acting without a guardian according to Roman custom, having the right of children, from the same city, greetings.
I acknowledge that I have sold to you from now and forever the half share of the house and courtyard and all its appurtenances, which belonged to me by inheritance from my aforementioned father Aurelius Hōreiōn, also called Anthestios, councillor of the same city, situated in the same city at the street corner and opening onto the public street to the north.
The agreed-upon price for this half share of the house and all its appurtenances is three thousand five hundred drachmas of silver imperial coinage, which I have received from you in full and equally by hand, and upon being questioned by you, I have acknowledged this.
Therefore, from now on, you and your descendants and those who will receive it from you shall possess and own the half share of the house and all its appurtenances sold to you by me, as stated, and you shall use and manage it as you wish. I will guarantee this forever against all claims and will keep it free from any census of persons, royal or private agriculture, and from any kind of debt or public or private encumbrance or any other claim whatsoever.
I will immediately repel at my own expense any claim or action brought against you concerning this property, as if by legal judgment.
This sale, written in duplicate, is valid, and whenever you wish, you may register it publicly through the registry office without needing any further consent or confirmation from me, since I hereby consent to the public registration made by you. Upon being questioned by you, I have acknowledged that these things have been done correctly and properly.
(In the reign of) Emperor Caesar.
(Second hand:) I have sold the half share of the aforementioned house and all its appurtenances and have received the price of three thousand five hundred drachmas, and I will guarantee as stated.
I have written on behalf of him who does not know letters.
