Exchange of inherited house property between siblings TM 37198ArsinoitesVI - VII

Fragmentary contract in which two or more siblings, including a son (?) of the late Menas from a city quarter called 'the Camp', exchange property from their paternal inheritance with their full sister. The surviving part lists rooms in a house in the city, including a dining room, a room for spinning tow and a kitchen. It comes from the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 6th-7th century AD.

In English machine translation

The lines 'lightnings and clouds, bless the Lord' quote the Song of the Three Youths (Daniel 3), apparently written as a pious heading or pen trial. 'Tow' (stippion) is flax fibre prepared for spinning.
