Opening of a contract drawn up at Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome on 26 April 138 AD. A party, apparently connected with Kronion son of Cheos, aged about 55, makes an acknowledgement to a second person; only the date, place and personal descriptions survive.
The nature of the agreement is lost. The scars listed are the standard physical descriptions used to identify the parties.
