The content of the texts are similar, namely the assignment of four days of liturgical service between priests of the deities Amun, Min-Apis, and Hathor in the temple of Hathor over the course of one year. The father of one of the parties acts as guarantor for the fulfillment of the contract. On the verso is a list of 16 witnesses who were present that day.
