Note (general) Written along the fibers; the back is blank
Note (general) 28 lines of writing by 2 hands: the main hand is ligatured and slightly bent to the right, while the hand of the subscriber is smaller and upright
Note (general) The price seems relatively high
Note (general) The buyer may be identical with the Epimachos mentioned in P.Oxy. XLI 2981 and may have been a dealer in animals
Note (general) It is notable that the buyer is from the Fayum and that probably he was not buying for his own use, but to resell; A. Joerdens, Tyche 10 (1995) 37-100, argues that this was not usually the case

APIS Translation (English)

Asklas son of Asklas, from Memphis, acknowledges to Epimachos son of Ploution, from the village of Philadelphia of the Arsinoite (nome), that he, Asklas, has sold to Epimachos an ostrakon-colored female donkey which has a small bump on the middle of its belly and that herewith Asklas has received from Epimachos a mutually agreed-upon price of 172 drachmas of silver and Asklas will guarantee this sale in every way from any complainant. 18th year of the Emperors Caesars Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and Commodus Armeniaci Medici Parthici Germanici Sarmatici Maximi, epagomenai 3. Asklas, about 65 years old, with a scar on his left hand. (Second Hand) I, Asklas son of Asklas, agree that I have sold the donkey and that I have received the price of 172 drachmas of silver and will guarantee this to you with every guarantee. I, Apollonios son of Ptollas, wrote this on his behalf [because he is illiterate.]
