Fragment from the end of a sale contract, preserving standard clauses: payment in full, the item being free of other sales and claims, a guarantee given by the female seller against challengers, penalties against those who break the agreement, and the validity clause. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

The participle bebaiousa shows that the guarantor, presumably the seller, was a woman. The object of the sale is lost.
