Fragmentary petition, apparently with quoted precedents or official replies, submitted by Aurelia Asklepias daughter of Asklepiades of Hermopolis concerning an inheritance from a father. It mentions next-of-kin rights, guardianship, marriage and registration, and dates to the 3rd century AD.

The text seems to cite earlier rulings (e.g. 'Show whether...', a judgment of Saturninus) as precedents supporting the petition. 'Anchisteia' means the legal right of next of kin to inherit.
