A small fragment of a private contract (cheirographon) from the Hermopolite nome, dated to Tybi of year 8, corresponding to January-February 109 BC. Only parts of the standard closing clauses survive: the enforcement clause "as if by a court judgment" and the validity clause stating that the document is binding for whoever produces it.

A cheirographon is a private contract written in the form of a signed note by one party. The surviving phrases are standard formulae, so the nature of the transaction is unknown.
