Contract placing a daughter in domestic service at Ankyron TM 21111Ankyron (Herakleopolites)

A fragmentary agreement from the village of Ankyron in the Herakleopolite nome, in which Ischyras and Didyme place their daughter Syairous with Isidoros and Aplonarion for four years and four months of household and other service. The term begins in the month Sebastos of the second year of Trajan.

In English machine translation

The document may be a service contract or an apprenticeship contract; the surviving terms concern domestic service. The date is inferred from the start of the term, 'the coming second year' of Trajan, so the contract was written in his first year (AD 98).
