Description

This text contains the will of a testator, whose name is lost. After making specific bequests (lines 1-4), bequeaths the balance of his estate in two equal shares to his daughter Tsensarapion and to "those around" Hermias (lines 4-8). He makes a substitutio vulgaris, in case the latter do not survive him, of their children (line 8). He also notes that he has previously conveyed by deed a vineyard in the allotment of Kallikrates near the village of Teis to an unnamed party (lines 8-9).
