Fragmentary copies of conveyances (sales or cessions) from Panopolis in the reign of Commodus. One concerns one and a half arouras of undivided grain land held jointly with a woman Senpsenosiris, previously acquired through a contract registered at the Panopolis record office; another concerns buildings and vacant plots in the first quarter of the city.
