Fragment of a contract, apparently a sale of land measured in arouras, with boundaries given and a price agreed in imperial coinage. A woman named Apollonia acknowledges receipt of payment, and a person also called Sarapion and a deceased woman are mentioned. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

The phrase rendered 'from the house' (ex oikou) usually means paid in cash directly from the buyer's own funds. The deceased woman is probably a former owner of the property.
