Fragment of a divorce agreement drawn up at Antinoopolis in 568, in which Aurelia Maria, daughter of Victor and Herais, addresses her husband Aurelius Menas, son of Horouonchios. She complains of the 'most harsh unpleasantness' of the marriage, but the terms of the separation are lost.
This is a duplicate copy of the same divorce document; the phrase 'would that he never had been' expresses the wife's bitterness. The word kramp(e)itas is rare and probably means a seller of cabbage.
