Fragment of a document dated in the reign of Domitian, on the 30th of the month Sebastos, drawn up in a village of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. It mentions an agent and a person identified by a mark under the right cheek, and the name Satabous, suggesting a contract with personal descriptions of the parties.

Sebastos is an honorific name for the Egyptian month Thoth. The physical description of a party (a scar or mole under the right cheek) is typical of contracts, but the document type cannot be confirmed.
