A sworn declaration to the strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome by three women, acting through Aurelius Heraklianos, stating that they are heirs under the will of the freedman Aurelius Moros and that his estate is worth 800 drachmas. It was filed at Oxyrhynchus in spring AD 226 under orders of a former procurator of the imperial estates.

In English machine translation

To Aurelius Antyllos, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelia Sarapias also called Herakleia, and Aurelia Tsenturbon, and Aurelia Tsenosiris, through Aurelius Heraklianos. We declare, in accordance with the orders of Aurelius Terpsilaos, former procurator of the ousiac estates, that we have been registered as heirs under the will of Aurelius Moros, of freedman status, and that the property left by him is worth 800 drachmas; and we swear by the fortune of Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Caesar the lord that we have not lied. Year 5 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, Pachon. I, Aurelius Heraklianos, have submitted this and sworn the oath.

Ousiac estates (ousiaka) were imperial domain lands managed by a procurator; the declaration was likely connected with inheritance tax or claims on freedmen's estates.
