Fragmentary end of a written security agreement (asphaleia) from Byzantine Egypt, in which a party undertakes not to bring proceedings in or out of court and a sum of 8 gold solidi is mentioned. Eusebius and Kallinikos are named, and the subscriptions include one written on behalf of an illiterate party and a notarial completion clause.

In English machine translation

An asphaleia is a written guarantee or security deed, here apparently including a renunciation of further legal claims. The phrase 'ex-comes' is an uncertain reading of a damaged title.
