Fragment of a division agreement (dihaeresis) in which siblings, including a minor and the heirs of a deceased half-brother on the father's side, divide a house inherited from their grandfather Besas. The minor receives a third share, and the boundaries of the allotted part begin to be described.
The text mentions a city of the Thebaid, while the records give Oxyrhynchus as provenance. Much of the formulaic wording is restored by the editor from parallel division contracts.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
