In support of his understanding of the declaration of sale formula, Dusek cites WDSP 1.10, which attests a word order in the sallit phrase that is different from the word order in the sallit phrases from other papyri (i.e., in WDSP 1.10 the lamedh preposition + name of slave appears before sallit rather than after it); but this seems less relevant to the declaration of sale formula, which uses the perfect verb zbn, since many other formulae that also use finite verbs have a very consistent word order.
