Fragment of a will of Sarapion son of Philon, a citizen of Antinoopolis, who names his minor daughter Hierakiaina as heir, grants her a place to live rent-free, and charges her with his funeral. It dates from the joint reign of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus (AD 161-169).

In English machine translation

[…] [… 5 lines lost …] I shall seal with a seal engraved with Harpokrates […] [second hand] [Year …] of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus and Imperator Caesar Lucius Aurelius Verus Augustus, month Metageitnion, Pachon […], will […] of Sarapion son of Philon, of the Osiroantinoan tribe and Bithynian deme, and however he is styled, aged about 64 […] […] a scar on the right eye (?) above the eyebrow […] seal […]

The date uses both the Macedonian month Metageitnion and the Egyptian month Pachon, typical of Antinoite documents. Osiroantinoeus and Bithynieus are the tribe and deme names of Antinoopolis citizens.
