Fragment of a Latin wax tablet, probably a marriage contract or an attestation of one, of the end of the 2nd century AD. Only scattered words survive, including a guardian, a centurion's century and the name Veranius, followed by Greek seal-signatures of witnesses such as Gaius Modius Priscus and Gaius Iulius Paulus.

The identification as a marriage contract is tentative. The Latin body is fragmentary while the witnesses' seal notes ('I sealed') are written in Greek.
