A small fragment of a contract from Elephantine, dating to the 4th century AD. Only scattered phrases survive, including an undertaking to provide something to the other party, the formal question and answer that made the agreement binding, and a clause excluding dispute.
In English machine translation
[… 1 line lost …]
[…] … only … […]
[…] to provide to you […]
[…] having been asked (the formal question), without […]
[…] dispute
[…] … […]
The restored participle 'having been asked' belongs to the standard stipulation clause (eperotetheis), the formal question and answer that made Roman-period contracts legally binding. The phrase 'without dispute' is a common guarantee formula.
