Fragment of a contract, probably a loan secured on property, mentioning a promise to repay and rights to possess and own a share of a house and courtyard. Persons named include Pnepheros, Hartbotes son of Psentermouthes and Psenenouphis son of Kollouthos; the text dates to the 2nd century AD.
The identification as a loan with mortgage is tentative; the reference to redeeming (lytrosasthai) suggests the property served as security.
