A copy of an agreement in which Tapeteuris, with her husband Pausirios also called Sirion as guardian, makes dispositions to take effect at her death: she releases him from repaying her dowry of 500 drachmas and appoints him unaccountable guardian of their son Ploutos and his inheritance until the boy comes of age. It also provides money for her burial and sets penalties for anyone contesting the terms; it dates to the 1st century AD.

Copy of the subscription. I, Tapeteuris daughter of L…, have made the agreement and consent to all the above terms. I, Pausirios also called Sirion son of Petosiris, have signed as guardian of my wife and approve all. I, Sarapion son of Seuthes, wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.

A 'contract-will' (syngraphodiatheke) was a marriage contract that also contained testamentary provisions. The catalogue description says the provisions concern the husband's death, but the text shows they take effect at the wife's death.
