Fragment of a report of legal proceedings about a disputed will, its validity and the guardianship of the deceased man's two daughters. It mentions Herakleides, an opponent, and an earlier ruling by Lupus, a former prefect of Egypt. Dated to the 3rd century AD.

The numeral 14 at the top may be a column or sheet number. Lupus the former prefect is likely one of the prefects of that name, though which one cannot be confirmed from this fragment.
