Registration of property acquired by private sale TM 21184Oxyrhynchos

Fragment of a declaration from Oxyrhynchus in which a woman, acting with her husband as guardian and represented by a city councillor, registers property acquired through a privately drawn-up sale. The mention of Severus and Antoninus points to the reign of Septimius Severus and Caracalla.

In English machine translation

"Idiographon" denotes a contract written by the parties themselves rather than a notary. The reference to Severus and Antoninus suggests a date around AD 198-211, though no date survives in the records.
