Fragment of a legal document, probably a contract or deed, dated by the joint reign of emperors styled 'Pious Fortunate Augusti' in the month Phamenoth. It involves a woman described as past the age of legal liability acting with a legal representative, and quotes a copy of an earlier document naming Aurelius Chairemon, Petronius Petronianus and Sarapion son of Theon.

The imperial formula fits Trebonianus Gallus and Volusianus (AD 251-253); 'Volusiana Ischyra' may instead belong to a name or epithet, and the reading is uncertain. 'Over age' (parēlix) refers to someone past the age at which poll tax and liturgies were due.
