Contract for substitution in a service, with subscriptions TM 30097OxyrhynchitesIII

Fragmentary end of a contract from the Oxyrhynchite nome, 3rd century AD, in which a man, apparently a komarch (village headman), agrees to perform a service as a substitute for someone else. The surviving subscriptions mention 200 drachmas, a scribe writing for an illiterate party, and money to be repaid to a certain Theon.

In English machine translation

Only the closing signatures (subscriptions) survive; the body of the contract is lost. The abbreviated 'komarch' may refer to one of the parties or to the office involved.
