Fragmentary contract drawn up at Ptolemais Euergetis in the Arsinoite nome under the emperor Claudius or Nero, in which Pasion son of Theodoros sells agricultural land, apparently a kleros in the Herakleides division, to a woman acting with her husband Apollonios as guardian and to Dionysarion. The land seems to have been acquired earlier by a Ptolemaios in an eleventh regnal year.
