Opening of a contract from the Hermopolite nome, dated by Justinian's regnal year and the post-consulship of Basilius to 19 January 544. Only the dating formula and the name of the first party, Aurelia Leia daughter of Ammonios, acting through Phoibammon son of Phibios, survive.
The opening letters χμγ are of uncertain meaning, possibly a numeral or the Christian cryptogram often read as a numerical abbreviation. The nature of the contract is lost with the rest of the text.
