A declaration in which Sarapion, an Alexandrian citizen, releases the veteran Antonius Tiberinus from any liability arising from his having acted as legal guardian for Sarapion's wife, Amatia Prisca also called Lucia, in a transaction about a one-third share of a loan inherited from her mother. Sarapion confirms that his wife has received what was due. It is dated 8 May 168.
The tribe and deme names (Sosikosmios and Althaieus) mark Sarapion as an Alexandrian citizen. A kyrios was the male guardian a woman needed to conduct legal business; the Greek of the loan clause is compressed, and 'discharging' could also mean settling or recovering the loan.
