A small fragment of a Byzantine document concerning a share of land: half an aroura, more or less, and a portion of ten ammata said to have been ceded to the writer. It probably comes from a contract or a declaration about land, written in the late 6th or early 7th century AD.
The amma is a Byzantine unit of land measure (a measuring cord), much smaller than an aroura. The genre is uncertain; the wording suggests a cession or sale of land.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
