Opening of a contract drawn up through the overseers of the record office in the Herakleopolite nome, dated by the regnal year of an emperor Marcus Aurelius (probably Severus Alexander) and by the eponymous priests of Alexandria. Only the dating formula and the start of an acknowledgement involving a woman named Herakleia (?) survive.

The imperial name is largely restored; the date range points to Severus Alexander. The epiteretai of the agoranomeion were officials supervising the office where private contracts were registered.
