teeth, at the price 10 agreed with each other of 5 talents and 1000 drachmas of silver of the coinage of
the Augusti, which I have received from you on the spot in full from hand to hand,
the guarantee in every respect being incumbent 15 on me, the seller, for ever and against anyone taking legal action and in answer to
the question I gave my assent (?). The sale is enforceable.
