End of a notification (prosangelia) to officials of the intended sale of land, referring to an inheritance under a Roman will and asking that the agoranomoi of the Phebichis area be instructed to complete the transaction. It was submitted by Thaesis, with her son Agathos Daimon as guardian, and by Heraklas, both of whom were illiterate and had scribes sign for them, in the Herakleopolite nome on 4 June 192.

In English machine translation

[Column 3] [… ? lines lost …] […] declared through […] […] father, in accordance with the Roman will which he made, in agreement with […] the will on condition that 100 drachmas be paid to Dimougilla his mother, which mother he declared to have died intestate, with the seller himself as sole heir, and to Cornelius Kl[…], soldier, his guardian, 100 drachmas; of these, the 2 arouras falling to our fathers. Therefore we submit this memorandum, so that instructions may be sent to the agoranomoi of the area of Phebichis of the Tosachmis (?) to complete the transaction as is proper. Year 32 of Imperator Caesar Lucius Aelius Aurelius Commodus Pius Felix Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus Britannicus, Pauni 10. I, Thaesis the aforementioned, with my guardian my own son Agathos Daimon […] […] have submitted it. I, Ammonas […] from Herakleopolis, wrote on their behalf because they do not know letters. I, Heraklas the aforementioned, have submitted it. I, Rhouphos son of P[…] […] wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

Agoranomoi were the notarial officials who registered contracts. The opening lines of this column are lost, so the full chain of inheritance is unclear.
