Opening of a contract addressed to Flavius Strategios, a consul of the great Apion family, represented by his majordomo, by a person from the village of Thmoinepsi. It was drawn up at Herakleopolis on 4 February 598; the substance of the agreement is lost.
Only the invocation, dating clause and address survive, so the type of contract is unknown. The majordomo (meizoteros) was the chief steward of a great household acting as its legal agent.
