Fragmentary official letter, probably to an agoranomos, reporting that Harthoonis son of Harthoonis mortgaged 2 1/4 arouras of catoecic land near Psobthis, from the kleros of Theodotos, to Heraklas under a loan contract registered at the record office. It was written in the Oxyrhynchite nome in September AD 99, in the third year of Trajan.
Catoecic land was land originally allotted to military settlers, held in units called kleroi. The month Sebastos corresponds to Thoth, the first month of the Egyptian year.
