An agreement from Oxyrhynchus by which Diophantos and his adoptive brother Horion divide equally the movable property, grain and two donkeys left by their father Herakleios, and renounce further claims against each other. It also settles the farming debts and the shares in sheep, hay and a leased allotment near Schoibis.
In English machine translation
Diophantos son of Herakleios son of Diophantos and Horion, adopted son of the same Herakleios, both from the city of Oxyrhynchus, mutually acknowledge that they have divided between themselves in equal shares the furniture, utensils, household goods, wheat and other pulses left to them by Herakleios, and likewise the two donkeys which they own in equal shares, and that each of them has received on the spot as his own […] what has also fallen to him by lot for his half share, and of the two donkeys one donkey each.
And that neither of them will bring any claim against the other concerning these things, and that Diophantos will make no claim concerning any advance made for the farming held jointly by himself and Herakleios, nor concerning the joint arrears which Herakleios had, because he has received from Horion the share falling to him; and that neither of them will make any claim concerning any other matter, written or unwritten, […] of those […] to them or to Herakleios from past times up to the present day, on any pretext whatsoever.
[…] all the sheep and the hay [stored] in the hay-barn and the farming […] of the period of the lease which Herakleios took out of the allotment near Schoibis, in accordance with the lease, belong three quarters (?) to Diophantos […] and to Horion […]
[…]
[…]
The shares in the leased allotment near Schoibis are damaged; the phrase read as 'half and quarter part' (three quarters) for Diophantos is uncertain.
