Fragment of a Latin document, probably a birth certificate, in which a woman named Cassia declares the birth of a child, apparently connected with a veteran. One part preserves the names of witnesses, Roman citizens such as Lucius Arruntius Dionysius and Titus Flavius Marcellus.

[…]zeus, veteran […] declared that she had given birth from the father […]

The names in part A, in the genitive, are probably witnesses' signatures beside their seals. The identification as a birth certificate rests on the restored phrase 'testata est se enixam esse'; one line contains Greek words.
