A fragmentary acknowledgement in which Aurelius Phib son of Neilammon, from the village of Alexandrou Nesos, confirms receiving almost one gold solidus from Aurelius Athanasios of Arsinoe, in return apparently for vine-work or produce from his one-aroura vineyard. It was drawn up in Arsinoe in a fifteenth indiction, AD 611-612.

The document is classed as a sale with future delivery (?), but the obligation in return for the money is largely lost. The sum is one solidus minus 7 3/4 carats.
