Fragment of a late Roman or early Byzantine agreement, apparently an advance sale or delivery contract for wine in jars (koupha), to be supplied from the vintage of the coming fifteenth indiction. A certain Apollos subscribes his agreement, and the document was written through a scribe whose name begins Patha-.
