Fragment of the end of a cession contract in which a woman named Aretiaina, acting with a guardian, acknowledges having ceded something (probably land) to an Aurelius and received her share of the payment. Subscriptions by a co-guarantor and others, including Nemesion son of Philammon, follow, with sums of 150 and 100 drachmas mentioned. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

Only the right-hand portion of the subscriptions survives; the object of the cession is lost. The term 'co-guarantor' (synbebaiotes) denotes someone who jointly guarantees the validity of the transfer.
