Fragment of a document from Panopolis, dated AD 217-218, in which someone acknowledges an obligation concerning payment of a price, apparently for silver bracelets and gold items. A man described as son of Kousis and of a mother named Tapse[…] appears in it.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] and […] […] […] […] […] of the tenth year […] […] […] for the price of silver(?) […] […] as stated above. […] […] son of Kousis, mother Tapse[…] […] you acknowledge that you will hand over to me for […] […] to me for the price of silver bracelets […] […] of gold and […] […] of the Emperor Caesar […] […]

The phrase 'as stated above' suggests a subscription or a second copy of an agreement following the main text. The reference to a 'tenth year' and the imperial titulature point to a regnal dating formula.
