Fragment of the opening of a contract, dated by a consulship of Flavii and the month Hathyr, addressed to a man whose name ends in -outios by someone named […]auros. The surviving acknowledgment formula suggests a sale or lease, possibly of property at the village of Mnachis in the Hermopolite nome, in the late 4th century AD.

The link to the village of Mnachis rests on the reading of a damaged line ([…]ναχει…). One description dates the papyrus more broadly to the 4th or 5th century AD.
