Four small fragments of a contract from Dura-Europos, dated to the 3rd century AD. Only scattered words survive, including a reference to someone's brother, a name that may be Nikolaos, a phrase about something having been agreed, and a witness's subscription.
In English machine translation
[Fragment A]
[…] to another […]
[Fragment B]
[…] of his brother […]
Nikolaos (?) […]
[Fragment C]
[…] to have been agreed, of trust (?) […]
[Fragment D]
[…] I witness
The phrase about agreement 'in good faith' (synkechoresthai pisteos) and the closing 'I witness' suggest a formal contract, but its subject cannot be determined.
