Fragment of a written agreement (homologia) in which the party declares that no claim will be pursued against them, with the heirs mentioned, and closes with the formula "I have agreed and signed" and a witness's subscription. It comes from Apollonopolis (Edfu) and dates to the 6th or 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] to the heirs, each […] to seek against me […] […] of the little matter there, on behalf of […] but on condition that it is undertaken […] simply to say, to act (?) in it I have agreed and signed. [… 1 line lost …] [… ? lines lost …] [verso] […] son of (?) Thermouthios, I wrote and bear witness.

The exact content of the agreement is lost; the surviving phrases suggest a settlement renouncing further claims. The witness's name on the verso is incomplete, and only "Thermouthios" survives.

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