In the tenth year of the Lord, the king Ginttabundi, on the nones of June, we sold.

Donatianus, son of Victor, and Saturninus, citizens, sold one boy from the Cappra-rianensium named Fortinis, of white color, about six years old, not erroneous nor constituted of bad morals, nor defective, whom Felix Fortu-tuni bought from them.

One solid gold coin and seven hundred golden obbrediacos, full in weight, in number, half of which is one solid and seven hundred.

Donatianus and Saturninus, the sellers, received in their presence the subscribers and took nothing with them.

We will inquire from the same price if anyone has responded more than they sold.

They had possessed it from the day before they sold it.
