Fragment of a notarial contract drawn up through the record office (agoranomeion) in the fifth year of Severus Alexander. It involves a man named Protarchos, a town councillor and former exegetes, property inherited under the will of Timandros, and a location near the Anoubieion; the verso preserves names such as Artemidora.

The opening formula with priests in Alexandria is typical of Alexandrian-style agoranomic contracts; the exact transaction type is lost. The scar on the shin belongs to the physical description identifying a party.
