Opening of a notarial contract drawn up through the record office of the toparchy of Agema in the Herakleopolite nome, dated by the reign of an emperor named Marcus Aurelius Antoninus and the Alexandrian priests. It involves a woman Apollonarion, acting with a guardian, and Aurelius Hermammon, and appears to concern property described 'from the ground up to the whole height' with its boundaries, probably a sale of a building or part of one.

The emperor's titles (Pius Felix) and the name Aurelius suggest Caracalla or Elagabalus, early 3rd century AD. The phrase 'from the ground up to the whole height' is standard for conveying a building outright.
