An arbitration agreement in which Aurelius Kyros son of Philammon and Aurelius Hermes son of Ammonios agree to submit a dispute, apparently concerning the accounts of a guardianship involving Kyros' late father Philammon, to arbitrators and to abide by their decision on pain of a 3-solidus penalty. It was drawn up at Hermopolis in AD 399.

In English machine translation

After the consulship of our master Honorius the eternal Augustus for the 4th time and of Flavius Eutychianus, vir clarissimus, Epeiph 6. The Aurelii, Kyros son of Philammon, rendering the account of the guardianship of my late father Philammon […] […] [… 3 lines lost …] [… and to] abide by and adhere to what [will be] decided [by them] and not to transgress this decision […], and that the one who transgresses it shall pay to the one who abides by it, by way of penalty, 3 gold solidi, as […] or that we be liable to the divine oath and the danger attending it; and having been asked the formal question, we gave our assent. I, Aurelius Kyros son of Philammon, the aforesaid, accept the decision that will be made, as stated above. I, Aurelius Hermes son of Ammonios, the aforesaid, accept the decision that will be made, as stated above. Written through me, Silvanus.

The term horos here means the arbitrators' binding decision or award. The exact relationship of the guardianship to Kyros' father is unclear because the following lines are lost.
