Fragment of the end of a contract in which a woman cedes something for a payment, apparently 2,000 drachmas, guaranteeing the buyer against all claimants and accepting penalties for breach. Subscriptions name Artemidoros, an Antinoite, a dioiketes, and Aurelius Harpokration. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] [in cash] from the house, and she will guarantee […] [against] anyone who will make a claim […] she, if she transgresses, [shall be liable] to the […] the agreed terms [are valid]. And the document […] that [these things] have been done rightly and properly […] Artemidoros, Antinoite […] […] dioiketes […] I have ceded […] 2,000 […] Aurelius Harpokration […] […]

Parakechōrēmai ("I have ceded") is the usual term for a cession of land or rights. The figure 2,000 probably refers to drachmas, but the unit is lost.
