Fragmentary record of court proceedings from the Arsinoite nome, apparently concerning an inheritance dispute. It mentions a party son of Zoilos, decrees, a deceased man's brother and daughter's sons, an Egyptian mother, an advocate, a judge appointed by the prefect Maximus, and persons named Sendotes and Taatrenis.

The status of the mother as 'Egyptian' seems relevant to inheritance rights under Roman-era status rules. The prefect Maximus is probably Marcus Vettius Maximus or Gaius Vibius Maximus, but the date is not recorded.
