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.

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.
