Fragment of a Greek document from Panopolis, dated 217-218 AD, apparently a contract involving land or property with a guarantee clause, mentioning persons such as a son of Horion, Pasemis, Psais and a mother Sepsis, and a description of neighbours.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] one and a half […] […] public […] […] agreed […] […] to the aforementioned […] […] with every guarantee from […] […] necessarily (?) […] […] from […] […]or son of Horion […] […] from Pasemis […] […] the […] […] […] […] Psais […] […] without delay […] […] and […] […] formerly being […] […] mother Sepsis (?) […] […] are neighbours […] […]

The phrases "agreed", "with every guarantee" and "without delay" are typical of sale or loan contracts; the mention of neighbours suggests a description of property boundaries.
