Judge's report to the prefect on an inheritance dispute between a grandson and his uncles TM 316226Arsinoites (?)133 - 137

Copy of a report from the judge Harpokration to the prefect of Egypt Petronius Mamertinus about an inheritance case referred to him. Herakleides claimed property willed to his late mother by her father, while his three maternal uncles argued that, since she had died before their father, the estate belonged to them alone; Herakleides invoked an imperial letter, apparently allowing daughters' sons to share inheritance among Egyptians.

In English machine translation

The imperial letter cited seems to have granted daughters' sons rights of inheritance alongside sons among Egyptians; the end of the report, including the decision, is lost. A nomikos was a legal expert consulted on points of law.
