4. This is what Marqūrah and Buṭrus, sons of Rabābīl ibn Mīnā ibn Ǧirǧah al-Ṭuṭūnī, have bought from ʿUqayl ibn Ḥudayj ibn ʾAḥmad ibn Hamid
5. Al-‘Āmerī, one of the guards of the mentioned village. They bought from him all of the land under his possession in the canal known as Shaddi Suwāf
6. to its limits and boundaries. The first boundary, and that is the southern one extends to the land of ʾAbū Shādān ibn Rudaynī.
7. The second boundary, and that is the northern one extends to the land known as Malik belonging to Rabābīl ibn Mīnā who bought it from Hamid
8. ibn Khayrī Al-‘Āmerī. The third boundary and that is the eastern one extends to the small irrigation channel that is [located] between the land of
9. Badūmūrah canal and this mentioned canal. The fourth boundary and that is the western one extends to this canal
10. and that is the canal of Shaddi Suwāf that waters this land. They bought this two feddāns for (a sum of) money which amounts
11. in Muʿizzī coins of full weight eight dīnārs, the half of which is four dīnārs of gold coins.
12. Aqil ibn Ḥudayj ibn ʾAḥmad received this price completely. He released himself from the (ownership) of these two feddāns by means of a receipt (acknowledging that he has) received and taken over (the price)
13. fully and he has handed over the land to Marqūrah and Buṭrus the sons of Rabābīl ibn Mīnā and they received it from him, acquired it,
14. and possessed it. It passed into their holding as property and their possession. If they wish they may sell, if they wish they may give it away as a gift.
15. There is no claim for ʿUqayl nor any of his relatives over these two feddāns, neither little nor much,
16. nor is there any cause for an action or claim. Whatever arises by way of an attachment, or right due, or if someone should suddenly appear with a debt or make a claim on the basis of any inheritance, its execution
17. and its clearing is the obligation of ʿUqayl ibn Ḥudayj from his own money whatever it may be and whatever it may amount to. This was written
