(Lines 1-39) The officials in charge of sales (pōletai) when Polyzelos was civic leader (archōn)–Polyeuktos from Lamptrai subdivision, Deinias from Erchia, Theaios from Paiania, Theotimos from Phrearrhoi, Aristogenes from Iphistiadai, Glaukon from Lakiadai, Kephisokles from Peiraeus, and Nikokles from Anaphlystos, whose secretary was Exekestos from Kothokidai–sold the following property, having received it from the board of Eleven, namely from Phaiax from Aphidnai subdivision and his colleagues.
On the 10th of the month of Mounichion, Theomnestos son of Deisitheos from Ionidai registered as property of the People the house in Alopeke of Theosebes son of (10) Theophilos from Xypete. The boundaries of the house are, on the north, the road leading to the sanctuary of Daidalos and the sanctuary of Daidalos itself and, on the south, the property of Philippos from Agryle subdivision. The property was registered as property of the People because Theosebes was found guilty of sacrilege and did not remain for the trial. He (Theomnestos) registered the house since the value was greater than the 150 drachmas for which it was mortgaged to Smikythos from Teithras. Witnesses: Diogeiton from Alopeke and Philoitios from Ionidai.
Kichonides son of Diogeiton from Gargettos and the members of the brotherhood (phrateres) of the Medontidians claimed that 100 drachmas were owed to him and the members of the brotherhood on the house in Alopeke (20) which Theomnestos from Ionidai registered as the property of Theosebes from Xypete. The boundaries of the house are, on the north, the road leading to the sanctuary of Daidalos and the sanctuary of Daidalos itself and, on the south, the property of Philip from Agryle. “For Theophilos from Xypete, the father of Theosebes, sold (on condition of release) this house to me and the brothers” (i.e. a citation of the claim of Kichonides). It was decided that the money was owed.
Isarchos son of Philon from Xypete argued that 30 drachmas were owed to him on the house in Alopeke which Theomnestos son of Deisitheos from Ionidai registered: “For I buried Theophilos, whose house this was, as well as the wife of Theophilos.” It was decided that the money was (30) owed.
Aischines from Melite subdivision and the association (koinon) of the sacrificing associates (orgeōnes) claimed that 24 drachmas were owed them on the house which Theomnestos from Ionidai registered: “For we bought this house from Theophilos for this amount on condition of release (of the property if the loan was repaid).” It was decided that the money was owed.
The purchaser was Lysanias son of Palathion from Lakiadai subdivision at the price of 575 drachmas. Of this amount, the city keeps one fifth, the sales tax, and the auctioneer’s fees, and Smikythos from Teithras keeps 150 drachmas. The sum was paid all at once in accordance with the written document.
