Beginning of an arbitration agreement (compromissum) between two men, Aurelius Victor and Aurelius Chonis, both from the Leukogion estate in the Herakleopolite nome, who could not resolve a dispute themselves and agreed to submit it to arbitration. The text breaks off after the preamble; it dates to the first half of the 7th century AD.
