Fragment of a contract involving Aurelia Herakleia TM 22317Herakleopolites

Fragment of the opening of a legal agreement drawn up through the overseers of the record office, involving Aurelia Herakleia acting with her brother Apollonios as guardian, and a son of Stalbas. The parties are described by age and complexion, as was usual in such contracts, and the deed is dated by the eponymous priests of Alexandria and a regnal year 22. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome.
