Fragment of a written acknowledgment (homologia) from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, probably a loan agreement in which an Aurelius acknowledges receiving money, apparently 140 drachmas, from Aurelius Dio[…] for one year from the month Thoth, with repayment of the principal due by Mesore. The end preserves part of a subscription by Aurelius Pat[…], perhaps writing on behalf of the borrower.

The 'divine grant' refers to the Constitutio Antoniniana of AD 212, which gave citizenship and the name Aurelius, so the text dates after 212. Its identification as a loan is probable but not certain.
