Fragment of a contract of sale by which sellers transfer to Aurelius Phoibammon son of Dionysios, a tow-maker, a plot of land measured in cubits near the tomb of Loeus, inherited from their father, for a price in imperial gold coins. It was drawn up in the reign of Theodosius II and Valentinian III in the Hermopolite nome; a subscription by Aurelius Kollouthos son of Pamounis and a notary's signature by Viktor survive.

The left side of every line is lost, so the price, sellers and full boundaries are missing. Stippourgos (tow-maker) is the editor's correction of a scribal slip.
