The end of a contract for the advance sale of wine, in which the deacon Aurelius Andreas son of Phoibammon acknowledges receiving full payment for 260 knidia of wine and promises to deliver them on time. It carries the signatures of his scribe, three witnesses and the notary, and was drawn up in the Hermopolite nome in the 5th or 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] [...] [...] all my property, present and future, being pledged to you for this debt, both generally and specifically, as if by legal judgment. This document is valid and binding, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Andreas son of Phoibammon, deacon, the aforesaid, have received and been paid in full the complete price of the 260 knidia of wine, and I will deliver them within the stated term, and I abide by everything as set out above. I, Aurelius Gennadios son of Serenos, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. I, Aurelius Victor son of Ioannes, from Hermopolis, witness the document, having heard it from the party who made it. † I, Aurelius Anouphis son of Kyros, from Hermopolis, witness the document, having heard it from the party who made it. † I, Aurelius Paulos son of Pinoution, chief of the urarii (?) of the demesmen of Hermopolis, witness the document, having heard it from the party who made it. † Written by me, Hermes † † † through Lammon, assistant. [verso] [...] from the hamlet of Taparat, 260 knidia of wine.

A knidion was a wine jar used as a unit of measure. The title protourarios is obscure; it seems to designate the head of a group of the city's demesmen (circus faction members).
