The opening of a Byzantine legal or business document, dated by the regnal and consular years of Emperor Tiberius II Constantine to Tybi 19 of the 13th indiction (15 January 580). It is addressed to a man called Apollos, styled 'most holy', which suggests a cleric, son of a deceased father; the rest of the text is lost.
