Modern Title Contract of sale
Summary The only farmer in all our documents, Dios sells a courtyard together with what seems to be an easement on its west wall, which is the eastern wall of his own house (lines 18-19).2 There is more than one purchaser, as we can tell from the plurals (e.g., line 4). The courtyard had been purchased from ten people who had themselves inherited it from their parents, five of whom are named (Sabinos, Krour, Pinouthos, Pasnous, and Psenthaysios [lines 10-13]). All these parents may have been residents in the building, and each would have had an interest in the courtyard. The seemingly high price of two solidi for this courtyard is accounted for by the purchaser's right to build onto the wall (lines 31-32) and perhaps also by the seller's presumed obligation to maintain it. laut L. Wenger (Repertorium BSB): "Verkauf einer αὐλή. Datum zu Anfang verloren: wohl: Syene; letztes Viertel 6. Jhd. Verkäufer: Aurelios Dios, Käufer: mehrere.

x+1---
x+2from Syene, greetings. I acknowledge, with free and unalterable will and guileless
x+3resolve and clear conscience, according to this single written
x+4security, that I have sold to you today and transferred, from now,
x+5forever, and for all time to come, the courtyard belonging to me, in its entirety,
x+6from foundation to air, in just the condition it is in, lying in the same
x+7Syene and in the southern part of the fortress and in the quarter called Quarter of the
x+8Camp, namely Quarter of the Cobblers, having its door opening to the north
x+9into the public road, adjoining the house belonging to me, on the
x+10east of it. It came to me by right of purchase from Ploullos
x+11son of Sabinos, soldier garrisoned in Panopolis; and Paulos son of Krour and Thikre and Maria, his sisters; and Ioannes son
x+12of Pinouthos; and Tadora daughter of Pasnous; and Maria and Tsaua and Alexandra; and another Maria daughter of
x+13Psenthaysios; corresponding to the earlier documents of purchase presented to you by me,
x+14which I presented to you for your greater security. And it came to them by
x+15right of inheritance from their parents. The boundaries of the same entire courtyard are:
x+16on the south a public road leading to the wall of the fortress; and a house of Martyria daughter of Tachbar and of Eucharios
x+17son of Kyros, the centurion; on the north a public road toward which the main door faces;
x+18on the east the courtyard of Peteroous; on the west my house, the seller's; — the wall
x+19of this house of mine, which happens to be a common wall on the east side of my house and on the west side of
x+20the same courtyard, is in perpetuity, from foundation to air,
x+21without expenses to you because I have been paid in full by you for the expense henceforth —
x+22or whatever may be the boundaries everywhere on every side just as I the seller have asserted. And
x+23nothing in the same courtyard, from foundation to air, has been left unsold by me, the price
x+24mutually agreed upon and approved being genuine gold,
x+25two solidi, of the old currency, of full weight, i. e., gold, 2 solidi, which
x+26full price I, the vendor, have here received in full from you, the purchasers,
x+27on the present day, from your hand to my hand, in the same Syene,
x+28in number and weight complete, in order that henceforth you may control and own the above-named
x+29courtyard, from foundation to air, and administer and build
x+30and build upon and sell and give it and employ what pertains to it
x+31in any way you choose, without let or hindrance; and use in common the
x+32above-named wall and place into it beams and furnish it with barrel vaults and employ what pertains to it in any way
x+33you choose, without let, and in order that I may not sue you — nor shall I sue —
x+34nor may anyone else in my name, on any occasion, in any way,
x+35on any pretext because, as I said before, I have received from you the aforesaid
x+36price in full. The man who intends to sue you or contend about this,
x+37the above-named courtyard, from foundation to air, with its entrance and exit, or about
x+38part of it — (him) I the seller shall drive away and cleanse (the deed of sale) for you at my own expense.
x+39And I have presented to you as security this deed of sale, which is valid and warranted, over the signature of the one
x+40signing on my behalf. And having been questioned, I have expressed acknowledgment and executed the deed. (2nd hand) I, Aurelius
x+41Dios son of Patechnoumios, farmer, the aforementioned, have sold the aforementioned courtyard,
x+42in its entirety, from foundation to air, and I have received from you the
x+43aforesaid price of two solidi and I warrant the deed of sale
x+44as aforementioned † - I, Fl. Martyrios son of Viktor, soldier of the legion of Philae, having been asked, wrote
x+45on his behalf since he is not literate. (3rd hand) † I, Isak son of Iosephios, deacon of the church of Syene
x+46bear witness. (4th hand) I, Aurelius Pasmes son of Papnouthis, from Syene, bear witness.
x+47(5th hand) † I, Petros son of Ioseph, priest of the church of Syene, bear witness.
x+48(6th hand) † I, Fl. Isakos son of Viktor, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
x+49(7th hand) I, Fl. Paenos son of Iakob, ordinarius of Philae, bear witness.
x+50(8th hand) I, Fl. Ioseph son of Paulos, augustalis of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
x+51(9th hand) I, Fl. Kollouthos son of Herodes, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
x+52(10th hand) † Written by me, Phosphorios, priest.
