Opening of a contract (an acknowledgement, homologia) dated by the joint reign of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. It was drawn up in the Herakleopolite nome between AD 198 and 211; only the dating formula and the start of the parties' description survive.

In English machine translation

[In year …] of the Emperors Caesars Lucius [Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus Parthicus] Maximus […] [and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus] Augusti, [in the time of the priests …] […] common (?) […] of the month […] […] of the Herakleopolite (nome) above Memphis […] […]polis acknowledges […] […] quarter (amphodon) […] […]

The mention of priests suggests an Alexandrian-style dating formula with eponymous priests; most of the imperial titulature is restored. An amphodon is a city quarter.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
