A fragmentary agreement drawn up in the village of Tinteris in the Herakleopolite nome on 26 February 538, in which Aurelius Apa Ol of Nilopolis declares to Aurelius Apollos of Leukos that, after a settlement, he has no further claim against him. A penalty of one gold solidus is set for breaking the agreement, and the document was written by the priest Theonas.

In English machine translation

After the consulship of Flavius Belisarius, the most illustrious, Phamenoth 2 of the fortunate first indiction […] In the village of Tinteris. Aurelius Apa Ol son of Ioulios, from Nilopolis of the Herakleopolite nome, to Aurelius Apollos son of Phoibammon, from the village of Leukos of the same nome, greetings. I acknowledge […] settlement (?) concerning the […] whether tomorrow or the day after, I shall not be able (?) […] and I have no matter […] no claim regarding the […] (penalty) for transgression one gold solidus, gold solidus 1, […] for contesting. The agreement is […] valid and guaranteed, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. Written by me, Theonas, priest.

The word read as 'diaIiasIs' is probably a misspelling of dialysis, 'settlement', marking this as a quitclaim after a dispute. The date is by the post-consulate of Belisarius (consul 535).
