End of a Coptic surety (guarantee) agreement, in which the parties swear by Almighty God that they act freely and will uphold the guarantee. Psiche son of Biktor and Enoch son of Pecosh subscribe as parties, one through a writer, three witnesses including a presbyter and a deacon sign, and the notary Apollos son of Psoios of Pakaune records that he drew up the document. It comes from Aphrodito in the early 7th century.

Only the lower part survives; the beginning naming the person guaranteed and the terms is lost. The closing notarial line is in Greek; 'executed' renders esōmatisthē, the formal completion of a deed.
