The opening lines of a contract dated to the reign of Tiberius, on Tybi 22, involving people of the Thmoisepho toparchy of the Oxyrhynchite nome. The verb 'agrees' suggests a synchoresis (a formal agreement), but the details are lost; a Hatres son of Apollonios is named.

A synchoresis was an agreement registered before an official, common in the early Roman period. The regnal year is lost, so the date can only be placed within Tiberius' reign.
