Fragmentary notarial agreement in which a woman, Tapetheus, acting with a male relative as guardian, acknowledges receiving 500 silver drachmas from Orsenouphis. It was drawn up in the Arsinoite nome in year 18 of Trajan (AD 114); the verso docket summarizes it as a receipt.

In English machine translation

[recto] Year eighteen […] Dacicus, month Apellaios […] of the Arsinoite nome. Tapetheus […] acknowledges, with as guardian her kinsman […] on the left […] to Orsenouphis […] and on the right shin, that she has received […] 500 drachmas of coined silver […] in the second year […] [verso] Agreement of Tapetheus with Orsenouphis, of receipt, 500 drachmas.

The surviving references to a left body part and a right shin come from identifying descriptions of the parties (scars or marks), standard in such contracts. Dacicus is part of Trajan's imperial titulature.
