Record of the opening of a will TM 21236Hermopolites14. Jan. - 13. Febr. 246

Fragment of the official record of the opening and public reading of a Roman-style will, read out in the Kaisareion. It mentions bequests including beans, household slaves and property, a symbolic sale for one nummus, a village scribe Aurelius Sarapion, and witnesses who were town councillors. It dates to early AD 246 in the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

The sale 'for one nummus' reflects the Roman mancipatory will, a fictitious sale of the estate. A topogrammateus was a district scribe; the consuls of AD 246 were Bruttius Praesens and Nummius Albinus.
