A loan contract in which a chief village official of Sentryphis in the Hermopolite nome acknowledges borrowing from Aurelius Apollos son of Horos, a monk of the monastery of Abba Apollos near Titkois, to be repaid in wine. It is dated 13 July 540.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
