A private agreement from Kellis in the Dakhla Oasis in which a man who married Tithoes' sister acknowledges receiving his late wife's share of what her parents left, and renounces any further claim against Tithoes on behalf of himself and his sons.

In English machine translation

Aurelius […], son of Horos, grandson of Mersis, from the village of Kellis in the Mothite nome, to Aurelius Tithoes, son of Petesis, from the same village of the same nome, greetings. Since I married your sister […] […] and for a short time […] […] intestate, and I set out for […] […] I made; and having come today to the Oasis […] […] of my wife, of the things left behind […] […] of your father and of your mother, and you have handed over to me on account […] [I acknowledge] that I have no claim against you henceforth [concerning any matter at all], written or unwritten, because I have been paid in full […] [and] [that none] of my people or of my sons will proceed against you […] […] … another […] [The agreement is valid], written in [a single copy] with a subscription […] […] […] [and having been asked the formal question] I acknowledged it. […]

The wife appears to have died intestate, so the husband received her share of her parents' estate from her brother; much of this context rests on restorations.
