Five small fragments of a Greek document from Dura-Europos, catalogued as a contract. Only isolated words survive, including the formula 'free from every' claim and 'agreed', which are typical of sale or loan contracts.

The identification as a contract rests on formulaic phrases such as 'free from every' claim and 'agreed'. The word eide may mean 'goods' or 'kinds', and its sense here is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragmentary Contract). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
