Opening of a written acknowledgement, probably a receipt for machinery, addressed by Aurelius Vitalios son of Philoxenos, of the hamlet of Nesouris, to the great landowner Flavius Strategios. It was drawn up at Oxyrhynchus on 28 October 523.
The description as a receipt for machinery is uncertain, since the operative clauses are lost. Flavius Strategios was a leading member of the Apion family's estate at Oxyrhynchus.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
