Small fragment of a legal agreement from the first half of the 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome. It preserves a penalty clause against a party who breaks the agreement, a validity clause, a note that the document was completed at the parties' risk, and mention of a councillor acting as syndikos and of a mother.
In English machine translation

[…] […]
[…] that he, if he transgresses, shall be liable
[…] the things agreed are valid […] the registration (?) was completed at their risk
[…] and councillor, advocate (syndikos)
[…] from the mother

A syndikos was a municipal advocate or legal representative, here also a member of the town council. The word 'registration' (chrematismos) is largely restored.
