A declaration by Aurelia Valeria to her half-sister Aurelia Nemesilla of Philadelphia in the Fayum. Having taken and sold the millstone from their father's inheritance as her share, Valeria renounces any claim to the grain mill they also inherited. A literate Alexandrian wrote it for her because she could not write.

In the consulship of Flavius Philippus, the most illustrious praetorian prefect, and Flavius Salia, the most illustrious master of the cavalry, Phamenoth 10.
Aurelia Valeria, daughter of Alypios, to Aurelia Nemesilla, my sister by the same mother, from the village of Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, greetings.
Since we inherited a grain-grinding millstone and a grain-milling machine which were our father's property, and I alone have taken away the stone and sold it as the share falling to me, accordingly I acknowledge that I have no share in the aforementioned grain-milling machine, but that I am a stranger to it and without claim to it, and no one will proceed against you concerning it, neither I, Valeria, nor my children nor heirs nor anyone else; and I have issued to you this my handwritten document as security. The acknowledgment is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelia Valeria, the aforesaid, have issued the security that I have no share in the machine, and I consent to what is written herein, as stated above.
I, Aurelius Sarapion son of Ioulianos, from Alexandria, living in the same village, wrote on her behalf since she does not know letters.
The sisters are described as born of the same mother (homogastrios). The settlement divides the inheritance: Valeria takes the millstone and Nemesilla keeps the milling machine.
