Release of guardians after termination of a guardianship TM 18554Alexandria11. Jan. 14 v.Chr.

Year 16 of Caesar, Tybi [1]6. To Protarchos, from Lucius Pomponius, son of Lucius, Rufus, of the tribe Pollia, and from Marcus Cottius Atticus. Whereas the father of Lucius Pomponius, Lucius Pomponius, by the Roman will which he made at his death, left Marcus Cottius Atticus and also Canoleius as guardians of his own son Lucius Pomponius, the aforementioned, and whereas in the meantime, Canoleius having renounced the guardianship according to the jointly sealed diploma, Marcus Cottius Atticus acted as guardian of Lucius, now Lucius Pomponius agrees that neither he himself nor anyone else on his behalf will proceed against Marcus Cottius Atticus or Canoleius […] him, neither concerning the guardianship nor [the things left by his father Lucius] Pomponius […] in any manner whatsoever, nor concerning any other debt or claim at all, [or] payments or accounts or any written or unwritten matter from former times up to the present day, on any pretext, because Lucius Pomponius himself has received from Marcus Cottius Atticus everything that [his father] ever had in the house, or otherwise; that what has been agreed shall be valid, and that any proceeding or charge brought contrary to this shall be wholly invalid and inadmissible, and further that he shall pay to Marcus, in whatever matter he brings a charge against him, the damages and expenses and, as a private debt, 1,000 drachmas of silver, [and] be liable [to the damages] and to the penalty established concerning agreements. We request this. Farewell. I, Lucius Pomponius, son of Lucius, Rufus, of the tribe Pollia, agree according to what is written above. I, Marcus Cottius Atticus, agree according to what is written above. [141I] concerning no other written or unwritten matter from former times up to the present day, or otherwise, that what has been agreed shall be valid, he shall be liable to the damages [and] expenses [and the fixed penalty].
