Donation on the occasion of death and other fragments (P.Lond. V 1857, P.Muench. I 8, TM 15316)
- Scope & Content:
- 18 fragments; fragments 1 and 2 belong to P.Muench. I 8: upon the death of her son, who had been her trustee, Aurelia Maria appoints her daughter/step-daughter (?) as her new trustee. In return for past services in support of Maria during old age and also in anticipation of her need for burial-offerings, Maria gives her, effective upon death, 2 half-shares, that is, a half interest, in an apartment consisting of three rooms: one on the ground floor, a living room on the 2nd floor, and a roof terrace on the 4th floor. A half-interest in the apartment had originally been held by the recipient's father, and the other half had been acquired jointly by him and the donor Maria through purchase. The performance of the burial-offerings as a motivation for the gift is given threefold emphasis. In addition to this gift, the recipient is assured an equal share in Maria's estate with her other siblings.
