Fragmentary application by Isarion also called Sarapias, acting with her husband Aphrodisios son of Didymos as guardian, concerning the purchase of confiscated or public property (catoecic land at Kerkesoucha and Eupatoris, an irrigated vineyard, and a house) for a total valuation of 467 silver drachmas. She asks that the sale be confirmed, after which payment goes to the public bank and the property is to be hers permanently.
