Opening lines of a document, probably a contract, dated by the regnal year of an emperor and drawn up in a place described as "above Memphis". A woman, perhaps named Aretiaina, acts with her guardian. It dates to the 3rd century AD and may come from the Herakleopolite nome.

"Above Memphis" is a standard phrase in contracts from the Herakleopolite and nearby nomes. The genre is inferred from the opening dating formula and the woman acting with a guardian.
