I 138) is the sixth in a series of Oxyrhynchus papyri (133–139) concerning the family affairs of Flavius Apion, his heirs, or his son.
This one is a contract for the care of a stable, written in Greek and discovered in Oxyrhynchus.
John agrees to be responsible for Apion's stable for one year, as well as for the racetrack.
John also agrees to provide Apion with animals as required, in return for 72 solidi of gold.
Grenfell and Hunt note that the number of references to this racetrack in the Oxyrhychus papyri of this period mean that it was very popular.
