Fragment of a register of contracts TM 26563unbekanntII

Fragment of a register summarizing contracts drawn up through a record office, mentioning women named Ninnous and Marine daughter of Didymos, damages and expenses, a payment from hand to hand, and a person identified by a mark on the forehead. It dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

The phrase about the middle of the forehead comes from the physical descriptions (scars, marks) of contracting parties typical of such abstracts. The reading 'dog-chain' (alysis kynike) is a literal rendering of an obscure item.
