Opening of a contract drawn up through the supervisors of the record office (agoranomeion), with a date formula and the beginning of an acknowledgment by one party. Only the first letters of each line survive. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome and dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

In the year […] Eutyches (?) […] and of the others […] through the supervisors of the agoranomeion […] acknowledges […] […] […] […] […]

Most of the wording is the editor's restoration from standard contract formulas; "Eutyches" may be a name or part of an imperial epithet ("Fortunate") in the dating clause. The epiteretai were officials who oversaw the record office where contracts were registered.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
