Fragment of a contract from the reign of Antoninus Pius in which several parties, including Sokrates also called Ammonios and Ischyrion, acknowledge a cession of property for all time. It refers back to an earlier agreement registered through the record office in the seventh year of Hadrian, probably at Ptolemais Euergetis in the Arsinoite nome.

The verb 'ceded' is an editorial restoration; the document appears to be a cession (parachoresis), often used for transfers of land or rights. The earlier agreement dates to Hadrian's year 7 (AD 122/123).
