Fragment of the opening of a contract from Oxyrhynchus, late 1st century AD, in which a Persian of the epigone and one or more women acting with guardians acknowledge something, apparently a payment made through the bank of Theon at the Sarapeion. The whole text was struck through by the scribe.

All surviving lines are deleted, suggesting the draft or contract was cancelled. 'Persian of the epigone' is a legal-status designation of the Roman period, not an ethnic one.
