A small fragment of a Greek document from Roman Egypt, dating to the 1st or 2nd century AD. It mentions Apollinarios son of Ptolemaios, a man named Hermas, a price, a street and colonnades, a joint purchase of linen cloth, and a written instruction, but its exact purpose cannot be recovered.

The word synōnē, here rendered "joint purchase", can also refer to compulsory purchase of goods for the state. Only line endings survive, so the document type is uncertain.
