Opening of a contract from the Herakleopolite nome dated by the regnal year of the emperor Severus Alexander and the eponymous priests of Alexandria. Only the dating formula and the word "acknowledges" survive, so the type of agreement is unknown.

The dating formula naming the priests in Alexandria is typical of the opening of a formal contract (homologia). The regnal year itself is lost, so the date covers the whole reign.
