Fragment of a sale contract in which Aurelius Ision son of Protas sells a place (a plot or room) connected with a house to a woman buyer, with clauses guaranteeing the sale and penalties of the price plus half. It comes from the Arsinoite nome; a veteran named Sarmates son of Silvanus of the Syriake quarter appears at the end, probably as a signatory or witness.

The beginning is lost and every line is broken at the start, so the property, buyer and price are not preserved. The name Aurelius suggests a date after AD 212.
