The fragmentary opening of a sworn agreement drawn up at Oxyrhynchus, dated by the post-consulship of Flavius Anastasius. The parties make mutual sworn agreements that apparently cancel earlier claims and exclude any fraud, but the details are lost.

The date AD 518 rests on the post-consular formula of Anastasius (consul 517); one record gives only the fifth or sixth century. The verso, not included here, carries a draft of another agreement with a placeholder for the name.
