A loan contract in which Aurelius Iakob son of Hierax, a farmer from Antinoopolis, acknowledges receiving three (or more) artabas of clean barley from Aurelius Phoibammon of a nearby hamlet, promising repayment from the coming harvest. It probably dates to the second half of the 5th century AD.

In English machine translation

I have received and owe […] today for my own use, of barley, clean grain, artabas […] three, total of clean barley […], and I will repay you and fulfil everything from the crops of the […] indiction, without any delay or dispute […] this debt […] valid and lawful […] with the subscription […] of the […] [… ? lines lost …] [verso] […] of Iakob son of Hierax, farmer

The exact amount is uncertain because the number before 'three' is lost, and the identification of the grain as barley is restored. The verso docket identifies the debtor.
