The end of a deed of sale, preserving parts of the closing clauses and subscription: the seller states that he has sold and received the price, and another man, Aurelius, writes on behalf of the illiterate seller. A Kollouthos is named. It dates from the late 3rd or 4th century AD and comes from Upper Egypt.
