In this contract the wine was sold at a certain price and to be delivered later. Though fragmentary, lines 20–25 of the contract seem to refer to wine measures of a church or monastery of Epimachos:
οἴνου πε̣νταξε̣σ̣τι\αίω(ν)/
σ̣ηκωμά̣των̣ ὀκτακο̣σ̣ίων
ἐν̣ τῇ τρύγῃ το̣ῦ̣ Μ̣εσο̣[ρὴ] μ̣η̣ν̣ὸς̣
τ̣ῆ̣ς̣ παρούσ̣η̣[ς ζ ἰνδ(ικτίωνος) οἴνου]
ῥύσ̣ε̣ως ὀ̣γ̣δ̣[όης ἐπινε(μήσεως) ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣]
25
τοῦ̣ ἁγίου Ἐπ̣ι̣ ̣[ ̣ ̣ ̣]υ̣
'…eight hundred five-sextarii jars of wine in the vintage of the month Mesore of the present 7th indiction from the wine yield of the eighth indiction (by the measure?) of the saint Epimachos (?) …'
