The end of a legal agreement drawn up by a group of men, including Heraklammon, Psenosiris, Paapis and Petechon, who declare that they have made the document and given their formal consent. Since they were illiterate, a scribe signed for them. It is dated in Pharmouthi of year 1 of the emperors Macrianus and Quietus (AD 261), in the Great Oasis.

[and, having been] asked, we have agreed.
I, [Philosarapis] son of [Apoll]onios, wrote on their behalf, since they do not know letters, having been asked.
Macrianus and Quietus were usurpers recognized in Egypt in 260-261, so the dating formula is notable. The nature of the agreement is lost; the name of the scribe Philosarapis is restored.
