A small fragment of a 6th-century Greek document, probably from the Herakleopolite nome, mentioning someone's statement, proof of earlier claims, a Georgios and some reverend brothers. It ends with a subscription by Aurelius Georgios and a dating clause by the regnal year of the emperor Justin II.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] […] […] […] […] […] said that […] […] until now, but when the […] had been expelled (?)

The dating formula names Justin II (reigned 565-578). The phrase 'as written above' and the subscription suggest a legal deed or settlement, but the content is too damaged to be sure.
