Fragment of a contract of sale with advance payment for wine, in which the seller, from a village probably Nemaris in the Antinoite nome, acknowledges receiving the full price for 50 jars of new wine of 8 sextarii each and undertakes to deliver them. It dates to the 5th or 6th century AD.
The word written δυσωτης (perhaps 'two-handled') and the abbreviation διδι(πλᾶ), 'double jars', are uncertain. The village name is badly damaged and its identification as Nemaris is doubtful.
