[recto] [Whoever shall have been born to me from her who is my wife, at the time] of my death, son or daughter, let him or her be, or let them be, my heir(s) […] And if any one, male or female, of these, whoever […] shall have been born, son or daughter, should die, let the disbursement […] of the inheritance be greater in proportion. Since, however, I know that I am not permitted by testament to manumit [more] […] than what is comprised in the Fufian-Caninian law […], I ask you, dearest heir, to manumit […] let the number of my runaway slaves not stand in the way of him […] If after this my testament has been declared I shall leave anything written and sealed in codicils, on papyrus, on parchment or in any other kind of material, by which, not by the proper law of testament or of the statutes, I shall have ordered anything to be given or done, [or if] while living I have given, donated, shall give […] or shall donate, [or] shall have forbidden a male or female slave to be free […], let it be valid just as if it had been provided for and comprised in this testament. Let wrongful deceit be absent from this testament. The household and property, for the purpose of making the testament, so-and-so bought for 1 sesterce […]; scale-holder in the place of so-and-so; so-and-so was called as witness. [verso] […]

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
