English Translation

[Anteïs] son of Titan, from the city of Oxyrhynchus,
to [Julius] Florus, freedman of Bola, himself freedman of the divine Augustus,
greetings. I acknowledge that I have sold to you my camel,
reddish-colored, first-born, having two brands,
one on the right thigh and the other on the right side of the neck,
together with its pack-saddle, whatever its condition may be,
and that I have received from you the agreed-upon price
in silver drachmas of Augustan and Ptolemaic currency,
four hundred and forty drachmas in total,
paid in full through the bank of Sarapion son of Zoilus
at the Sarapeion in the city of Oxyrhynchus.
And I guarantee to you the sale with every guarantee,
or else I will repay the price I received from you
plus half again as much, and damages and penalty,
another two hundred drachmas, and an equal amount to the public treasury,
without any reduction whatsoever of your rights, Florus,
in the transaction of what I owe you under security. This document is valid.
(Year) 17 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, month Sebastos, day 10.

(Second hand) I, Anteïs son of Titan, have sold the camel and its pack-saddle and have received the price, four hundred and forty silver drachmas in full, and I guarantee with every guarantee, without any reduction of Florus' rights in what I owe him under security, as stated above. Philonides son of Theon wrote on his behalf, because he does not know letters. (Year) 17 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, month Sebastos, day 10.

(Third hand) Year 17 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, month Sebastos, day 11. The registration was made through Sarapion son of Zoilus. Sale of a camel.
