"Library of Hermopolis, from Horus the Harpocratian, mother of Taphibios, of the cities from Alabastron of Arabia below. I am registering the descent under the most excellent governor, Rammios Martialis, in the present year of the Emperor Hadrian, which I purchased at public expense in the 16th year of the god Trajan from Arathos the Epimachus and Hephaestus.
Puworius and Psennouitis of Palaiotous of the same Alabastron, a fourth part of a house and courtyard in the same Alabastron, and from the inheritance of my father, an eighth part of another house and a part of another house and an eighth part of another house, all being in the same Alabastron, and I swear by the fortune of the Emperor Trajan Hadrian Augustus that it shall be thus and that I shall not be liable to any deceit or be guilty of the oath. (year)
(of the Emperor) Trajan Hadrian Augustus."
