End of a contract with subscriptions of several Aurelii TM 219254OxyrhynchosMitte V

The closing part of a contract from Oxyrhynchus, dated to the mid-5th century AD, in which a group of Aurelii, including Phoibammon son of Papnoutios, Paleous son of Ioannes and the brothers Papnoutis and Samuel sons of Ammonios, confirm the agreement under the divine oath. A scribe signed for them because they were illiterate, and the notary Rufinus completed the document.

The final line is Greek written in Latin letters (di emu Rufinu, 'through me, Rufinus'), the typical notary's completion formula. The body of the contract is lost, so its subject is unknown.
