Fragment of a will TM 27869Oxyrhynchos (?)II

Fragment of the opening of a will, dated to a fourteenth regnal year, in which the testator, of sound mind, reserves rights for his lifetime and makes provision in case he dies with the will unchanged. It mentions someone from the same city and household goods. It dates to the 2nd century AD and probably comes from Oxyrhynchus.

In English machine translation

In the fourteenth year […] The following are the dispositions made by […], being sane and in my right mind […]: for as long as I survive, I am to have […]; but if I die with this will in force, without having made any further disposition […] […] from the same city, if he/she is alive […] […] to them […] household contents (?) […]

The text follows the standard formula of Oxyrhynchite wills, and much of it is restored on that basis. The term endomeneia refers to household furnishings and movable goods.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Frammento di testamento). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
