A fragment of a list of legal and financial documents, apparently an inventory of deeds kept in an archive, from the Oxyrhynchite nome in the 6th century AD. It records agreements, copies, leases, a sale, a deposit, receipts and statements involving great houses, bankers, an archivist and villagers of Episemou and Takona.
"Isos" (copy) marks duplicates of documents rather than originals. "Argyropratai" were silver dealers who acted as bankers; "tes Kynon" may refer to a place or person and is uncertain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
