End of a handwritten acknowledgement of a loan of barley, in which Aurelius Euporion confirms receiving 3 artabas of barley with the customary half-share added and promises to repay in Pauni. It is dated in the month Mecheir of the year after the consulship of Nepotianus and Facundus, AD 337.
"With the half-share" (sun hemiolia) refers to the common arrangement of repaying a grain loan with 50 percent added. The opening of the contract, including the lender's name, is lost.
