Small fragment of a contract, apparently a sale with deferred delivery, in which a price is acknowledged as paid in full and fourteen units, perhaps of vegetable seed, are owed. A guarantor named Phoibammon appears on the back. It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome and dates to the 6th or 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] from you here […] the price in full […] fourteen and of vegetable seed (?) […] […] […] [verso] […] with the guarantor Phoibammon […] […]

The vegetable seed (lachanosperma, source of oil) is a restoration from only the first letters of the word. The verso likely carried the docket naming the party and the guarantor.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment eines Lieferungskaufes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
