The end of a Coptic legal agreement from Aphrodito, dating to the 8th century AD. It preserves the signature of a party named Shenoute, the subscriptions of several witnesses, sons of deceased men named Makare, Isaak, Mena the deacon and Samuel, and the completion note of the notary Theodoros. The subject of the agreement is lost.
'Blessed' (makarios) marks the fathers as deceased. The final line is the notary's completion formula in Greek; the word 'notary' is restored.
