Fragmentary undertaking by oil-workers of a village near Chenoboskia in the nome of Diospolis Parva, acting through their president. Since it had been decided that they should jointly supply oil for the city's provisioning, they agree of their own free will to accept all related obligations and orders. It dates to the late 3rd or early 4th century AD.
The euthenia was the public food supply of the city, for which guilds could be made jointly liable. The name of the intermediary, Hedemydra, is uncertain.
