Fragment of a contract, apparently a lease of part of a house, in which the parties acknowledge joint liability and refer to a room or floor on the second storey of a house that came to them by a disposition. The surviving lines were struck through by the scribe; a name, Taurinos, appears on the back. It dates to the first half of the 6th century AD.

In English machine translation

All surviving lines on the front were deleted by the scribe, so this may be a cancelled draft or a voided document. The 'disposition' may refer to an inheritance arrangement such as a will.
