A declaration to the keepers of the property archives at Oxyrhynchus in which a woman from the village of Syron, acting through an agent from Antinoopolis, registers a house and courtyard in the Temgenouthis quarter that she bought by registered agreement from Aurelius Petosiris, a pastophoros of Athena-Thoeris, and Sinthonis also called Apia. She affirms the sellers held the property by right of purchase under three earlier agreements.

Filed. To Aurelius Ammonios, however he is styled, councillor, and Heliodoros, keepers of the archives, from […]dora daughter of Heras son of Heras, from the village of Syron, through Aurelius […], of Antinoopolis. I register the property which was conveyed to me by agreement executed through the registry office in the past 6th year in the month of Mesore by Aurelius Petosiris […] whose mother is Taseus, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, pastophoros of Athena also called Thoeris, most great goddess, and Sinthonis also called Apia, daughter of Dionysios, whose mother is Markia, from the same city, namely the property belonging to the daughter of Petosiris, Aurelia Taseus, whose mother is Taar[…], her father having her under his power according to the laws of the Romans, […] and to Aurelia Sinthonis also called Apia for the remaining fourth share […] in the quarter of Temgenouthis, a house and courtyard […] and all their appurtenances, with entrances and exits […] copies issued (?), sent back from the review […] with duplicate copies, and I declare that neither Petosiris […] nor Sinthonis also called Apia has registered […] of the aforesaid real property, but that it is theirs by right of purchase […] according to three agreements executed through the registry office, of which likewise […] presenting the three to you with duplicate copies […] in the month of Pachon, one earlier from Sarapias […] […]

A pastophoros was a temple servant who carried sacred shrines. The reference to the father having his daughter 'under his hand' reflects Roman patria potestas.
