The opening of a contract in which Aurelius Aleides from the village of Mikron Petraiou, with a guarantor whose mother was Rachel, acknowledges receiving a price from Aurelius Tim[…] for a quantity of barley. It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome and dates to the 4th or 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

Catalogued as a loan contract, but the receipt of an agreed price for barley suggests a sale with deferred delivery. The mother's name Rachel may point to a Jewish or Christian family.
