Fragment of a deed of manumission from Antinoopolis, 3rd century AD, in which owners who had inherited slaves, including Sarapiakos aged 33, free them "under Zeus, Earth and Sun" and renounce any future claims against them. The parties are identified by the Antinoite deme names typical of citizens of that city.

The formula "under Zeus, Earth and Sun" is the traditional oath-like phrase of Greek manumission in Egypt. Nervianios, Sebastios and Mousegeteios are names of civic tribes or demes of Antinoopolis.
