The end of a 6th-century contract, probably from Hermopolis, in which a man and his wife Euthymia undertake to return something, apparently including animals and livestock. It preserves the subscription written for them by Paulos son of Pinoution because they could not write, followed by the signatures of witnesses, including clergy of the catholic church of Hermopolis.

Only the closing part of the contract survives, so its exact nature is unclear. Tetaui may be a place name or a personal name.
