Fragment of a copy of a report of court proceedings, apparently narrating a family history: a marriage by public contract, the birth of children, the parents' deaths, inheritance under the law of Antinoopolis, assignment to a liturgy, and the birth of a son. It dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD, perhaps from Antinoopolis.

The 'Antinoite law' refers to the special civic privileges of Antinoopolis, which governed the inheritance and status of its citizens. Many restorations are conjectural; the provenance is uncertain.
