The end of a contract or agreement in which Aurelius Menas son of Serenos and his full brother acknowledge their consent, followed by the signatures of several witnesses, including a son of the late priest Theodoros and the scribe Paeous son of Papnouthios. It dates to the 6th or 7th century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome.

Only the closing clauses and subscriptions survive, so the subject of the agreement is unknown. The last line is the notary's completion formula, partly written in Latin letters ('di emu … eseemioth', i.e. 'executed through me').
