End of a contract mentioning a vintage, with notary's subscription TM 20187Oxyrhynchos (?)ca. 582

The end of a contract, probably a lease or similar agreement involving a vintage, with the validity clause, the subscription of a party who was the son of Kyriakos, and a note that Anastasios wrote for him because he was illiterate. Anastasios also signed as notary in Greek written with Latin letters. It dates to about AD 582 and probably comes from Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

[…] […] one vintage. [This document, written in a single copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.] […] [I, …]euna(s) (?) […] son of Kyriakos, the aforementioned, [agree to the contract] as stated above. I, Anastasios, [wrote on his behalf] since he is illiterate. (Latin script:) Executed through me, Anastasios. †

The final line is the standard Byzantine notarial completion formula, Greek words written in Latin letters. The phrase 'one vintage' suggests a lease or labour contract for a single grape harvest, but the main body is lost.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Instrumenti oxyrhynchitici fragmentum). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
