A fragment of a register of contract summaries from the reign of Hadrian (AD 117-138). Remnants include a loan at interest with guarantee clauses, a lease allowing subletting, and a wet-nursing contract for two years, as well as a property description with neighbours.

The text abstracts several distinct contracts in sequence, so the lines do not belong to a single agreement. An entaphiastes was a professional embalmer or funerary worker.
