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.
