Fragment of a legal document, probably a will, in which the writer disposes of property including an aroura of land and part of an olive orchard in a village, and appoints a guardian not required to render accounts. It dates to the 2nd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] one aroura and […] […] of the olive-orchard from the [allotment of so-and-so] […] […] of the property belonging to me in the village […] […] the things declared previously […] […] of each of these from the […] […] five, extending south […] […] to the street on the north […] […] on condition that if it should happen […] […] of all the property […] […] guardian, not liable to render account […] […] should happen first […] […] making dispositions concerning them […] […] [… ? lines lost …]

The phrases 'should it happen' and a guardian 'not liable to render account' (anenklogistos) suggest testamentary provisions, but the beginning of the document is lost.
