Fragmentary deed of cession in which a man named Diogenes transfers catoecic land, plots, a palm grove and village building plots to his daughter Thaisarion, who in return assumes his debts to creditors (including the former gymnasiarch Noumenios), pays him cash, and supplies him annually for life with wheat, olives, dates and figs. It comes from the Arsinoite nome in the first half of the 2nd century AD.
