Opening of a Byzantine document with a Christian invocation and a dating clause by the regnal and consular years of the emperor, addressed to a most admirable Anastasios. The verso docket identifies it as a document of Pamouthios. It probably comes from Oxyrhynchus and dates to AD 591-602.

The invocation formula with the consulship of the reigning emperor fits the reign of Maurice, hence the date range. The nature of the document is uncertain; the docket and address suggest a contract or acknowledgment.
