- Scope & Content:
- Ioannes assigns to his sister Kako (here called Tkako) and her husband Patermuthis (here Patermuthios) his share of their grandmother Tlou's house (inherited from their recently deceased father Iakobos) in return for the couple's promise to fully maintain the aged woman. Any attempt to revoke the assignment is subject to a penalty of one ounce of gold. The formulas of the transfer clause resemble those in P.Munch. 10.
