Fragment of a copy of official court proceedings from the late 2nd century AD. It concerns a man registered at the property record office as heir to his mother Valeria, mentions an entry in the property register and mortgaged properties, and a centurion speaks after a date of year 12, Pachon 13.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] of those holding possession [...] [...] that he himself, by succession as heir of his own mother Valeria, had been registered through the record office of property holdings [...] [...] [...] from the register (diastroma) [...] [...] [...] in the case of the mortgaged (properties) [...] [...] Year 12, Pachon 13. [...] [...] the centurion said: [...]

The diastroma was the individual owner's ledger in the property record office (bibliotheke enkteseon), where ownership and encumbrances were registered. Only scattered phrases survive, so the outcome of the hearing is unknown.
