Fragment of a Greek papyrus opening with a consular dating formula under the emperor Tiberius II Constantine, followed by the beginning of an acknowledgment (homologia) addressed to someone of a city. It may be a practice exercise in writing dating formulas, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome around AD 580.

The text is classified as a possible exercise in writing a dating clause; the start of an acknowledgment suggests it imitates a contract opening. 'New Constantine' is a title of Tiberius II.
