Two small fragments of a document, probably a sale or similar conveyance of real property, describing house plots and a house with courtyard together with their appurtenances and listing the neighbouring properties on each side. It dates to the 2nd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[Fragment 1] […] […] building plots, with their measurements and cubit-measures and foundations and watering places and drains, all […] of which the neighbours are, as the handwritten contract contains […] Theo… (?) […], beneath which a house, … […] […] […] [Fragment 2] […] […] entrances and exits and the other […] […] of house and courtyard; on the south a public street […] […] house of Dioskoros; on the east […] […] on the east a street; on the north […] […]

The 'cheirographon' is a privately written contract referred to as the source of the boundary description. The two fragments overlap in content (two eastern neighbours), so they may belong to different property descriptions.
