Fragment of a Ptolemaic document, probably concerning a public sale or lease of property, mentioning terms of 5 years, sums of 1,600 and 1,850 drachmas, an orchard, a share of land, and uncultivated land. It probably comes from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum) and dates to the late 3rd or early 2nd century BC.

The identification as a public sale comes from the catalogue records; the surviving text preserves only scattered phrases and figures. The fractions in line 5 probably measure land in arouras.
