The opening lines of a contract dated by the post-consulate of Flavius Trocondes (consul AD 482). A man whose mother was Marthana addresses a party named Antoninus son of Kyros, and a clause on ownership and secure title survives. The document probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.

Trocondes was consul in 482, so the post-consular dating places the text in 483-484 or shortly after. The type of contract cannot be determined, though the reference to being owner and secure suggests a guarantee of title, as in a sale.
