Fragment of a document from Herakleopolis dated by the reign of the emperor Arcadius, written on Mesore 25. The surviving phrases mention a brother's share and property inherited by the writer and held in common, suggesting a division of an inheritance.

The identification as a division of an inheritance is tentative and rests on the words "brotherly" and "inherited". The word read as "mill" is only partly preserved.
