A declaration of inherited property submitted by the brothers Gorgias and Galestes of Toemesis to the keepers of property records of the Herakleopolite nome, registering house shares, a vacant plot and small parcels of catoecic land inherited from their father Polemon. It ends with an oath by Hadrian's fortune and an official filing note, dated 28 August AD 131.
