Description

Marriage contract by which Nomissianus gives his daughter Zenarion in marriage to Marcus Petrionus Servillius; the text, which mostly follows the Romanusage, but enumerates the dowry, in the manner of Greek marriage contracts, was written twice on a single sheet of papyrus: one of the two copies was then rolled and sealed by the seven witnesses.
