Fragment of the opening of a legal document, dated by the consulship of Flavius Aetius and written at Herakleopolis. Only the dating formula, the place, the greeting and the start of an acknowledgment clause survive.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] of the Flavii Aetius […] and […] […] in Herakleopolis […] […] … […] from the same […] […] greetings. I acknowledge (?) […] […] … [… ? lines lost …] [verso] …

The date rests on the consular formula naming Flavius Aetius; the word 'I acknowledge' (homologo) suggests a contract, but the type cannot be determined.
