Translation

1	☧ (In the year) after the consulship of the most illustrious Flavius Decius, on Phamenoth 1[.], in the eighth
2	indiction, in Syene //,
3	Aurelius Iakob, whose father is Paeis son of Roben, his mother being ---, a boatman
4	by trade, and his wife, Tsendia, whose father is Sourtos, her mother being Touote,
5	both residing in Syene, providing a signatory on their behalf and
6	witnesses signing below, to Flavius Iakobos son of Isakos,
7	his mother being Tlous, drummer of the regiment of Syene, and himself from Syene, greetings.
8	We acknowledge, with free and unalterable will and guileless resolve
9	and clear conscience, according to this single written security, that
10	we have sold to you today and transferred, from now, forever, and for
11	all time to come, the house belonging to us, in its entirety, from
12	foundation to air, lying in the same Syene in the southern
13	part of the fortress and in the Quarter of the Camp and of the house of Papnouthios
14	son of Mauros and of the public camel yard of the transport (service) from Philae. It came to us by
15	rightful purchase from Abraamios and Alammon sons of Paulos son of Ouranios
16	and to them by rightful inheritance from their deceased father Paulos
17	son of Ouranios and to him by rightful inheritance from his parents. In the entire
18	house there are: on the first floor two rooms, on the south a large one facing north
19	toward the adjacent gateway and another on the east facing west toward the main
20	gateway; and the (recess) below the stair, or tchrere; on the second floor two living rooms,
21	one facing north and another facing west toward the stairs; also with the
22	two unroofed living rooms above them on the third floor, up to the air; and
23	the stairs, from foundation to air. Its boundaries are: on the south a public road
24	beyond which is the house of Dios son of Tagaria; on the north a house now (belonging) to Dios son of Isakios, also (called) Posios;
25	on the east a house of Peteroous son of Martyrios and of his wife Terouterou; on the west
26	a public road into which its main door opens — positively corresponding
27	to the deed of sale made for us concerning this, which we have given to you for
28	your greater security — or whatever may be the boundaries everywhere on every side just as
29	we the vendors have asserted. And nothing has been left unsold by us
30	in the above-named house, the price mutually agreed upon
31	and approved being genuine gold, solidi, of the old currency,
32	eighteen, of full weight, i.e., gold, 18 solidi, which full price we, the sellers, have here
33	received in full from you, the purchaser, on the present
34	day, from your hand to our hand, in the same Syene, in number and weight
35	complete, in order that henceforth you, the purchaser of the above-named
36	house, may control and own it, in its entirety, from foundation to air,
37	and administer and manage and build and sell and give and bequeath it to your children
38	and descendants and employ what pertains to it in any way you choose,
39	without let or hindrance, and in order that we may not sue you — nor shall we sue — nor
40	may anyone else in our name, on any occasion, in any way,
41	on any pretext because, as we said before, we have received from you
42	the aforesaid price in full. The man who intends to sue you or contend with you
43	about the above-named house, in its entirety, from foundation to air,
44	or about part of it — him we the sellers shall drive away and cleanse the deed of sale
45	for you at our own expense. And we have given to you this deed of sale,
46	which is valid and warranted, over the signature of the one signing on our behalf. And having been questioned,
47	we have expressed acknowledgment and executed the deed. (2nd hand) ☧ We, the Aurelians Iakob son of Paeis son of Roben and his
48	wife Tsendia daughter of Sourtos, the aforementioned, have sold the aforementioned house in its entirety,
49	from foundation to air, and we have received from you the aforesaid
50	price of eighteen solidi and we warrant the deed of sale as aforementioned.
51	I, Fl. Photis son of Thalasios, augustalis of the legion of Syene, having been asked, wrote on their behalf
52	since they are not literate. (3rd hand) ☧ I, Aurelius Iakob son of Psennesios, of Syene, bear witness.
53	(4th hand) ☧ I, Fl. Didymos son of Silvanos, former vicarius, bear witness.
54	(5th hand) † I, Fl. Papnouthis son of Dios, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
55	(6th hand) I, Fl. Ioannes son of Paam, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
56	(7th hand) I, Fl. Makarios son of Isakos, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
57	(8th hand) ☧ I, Fl. Abraam son of Stergorios, former actuarius of the legion of Philae, bear witness. ☧
58	(9th hand) I, Fl. Makarios son of Posios, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
59	(10th hand) ☧ I, Fl. Paeion son of Psachos, soldier of the legion of Syene, bear witness.
60	(lst hand) ☧ I, Fl. Abraamis son of Pamet, centurion of the legion of Syene, wrote the body of the deed.
