Fragment of an agreement dividing a house and its installations into three equal shares among Theophilos, Naaraous and Herakleides the priest. It assigns each a baking kiln, regulates use of the gateway and roof repairs, and renounces further claims among the parties. It dates to the first half of the 7th century AD from the Herakleopolite nome.

The Greek is very irregular; the name written Herakleite is taken as Herakleides, and the word rendered 'obelisk' and the baking terms are uncertain. Kausterion may mean an oven or kiln.
