Fragment of a contract, probably a sale or cession of land, concerning plots of about two arouras near Pakerke in the Panopolite area. It mentions Petosiris, heirs and Sansnos, lists neighbouring plots, and ends with a subscription written on behalf of an illiterate party, dated by the titles of Emperor Commodus.
The imperial titles Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus belong to Commodus's titulature. The word read as "irrevocable" (anaphaireton) is a standard guarantee clause in sales and cessions.
