Fragment of a written security (asphaleia) or agreement from late antique Egypt, mentioning Eusebios son of Kallinikos and a sum of 8 gold solidi, with clauses renouncing legal action in or out of court. It ends with a subscription written for an illiterate party and a notary's completion formula by a priest.

In English machine translation

[…] thirty-six […] […] neither in court nor outside […] [court], not (to cause) trouble […] […] and in the presence of […] […] Eusebios son of Kallinikos […] […] 8 solidi of gold, total 8 gold solidi […] I wrote(?). The agreement is valid […] and […] […] this security of agreement as aforesaid […] as aforesaid † † † agreement […] Χ […] having been asked, I wrote on his behalf, since he is illiterate † † † […] [through me] […] the priest, it was executed †

The Greek term asphaleia means a written security or guarantee document; here it is described as an asphaleia of 'agreement' (homilia). The final line is the standard notarial completion formula, here by a priest.
