Fragmentary document from Panopolis, apparently a series of records of payments or loans, one involving a gold earring that the borrower promises to return. It names men called Aurelius and Sarapion and is dated to year 1 of an emperor, AD 217-218.

The scribe twice corrected 'year 2' to 'year 1', probably year 1 of Macrinus (217-218). The genre is uncertain; the text may be a register of loan agreements or pledges.
