Copy, drawn from the property record office of the Arsinoite nome, of an agreement made at Soknopaiou Nesos by Thasis daughter of Stotoetis and her son Stotoetis, a priest of the village god, with her sister Sabaiaitous. It seems to concern shares of property left by a deceased brother; the text breaks off before the terms are clear.

The word heuresilogia normally means a pretext or contrived claim; here it may relate to a renunciation of claims over inherited shares. The god's name is largely restored, Soknopaios being the village god.
