Small fragment from the closing clauses of a sale contract, preserving phrases about other sales, a penalty for anyone who breaks the agreement, the validity of the terms, and the state treasury's prior claim. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

Most of the wording is restored from standard contract formulas. "Protopraxia" is the treasury's right to be paid first from a debtor's property.
