-
Upper papyrus (A) (P.Lond. V 1860(a) descry, P.Muench. I 7: Fragment of a settlement confirming the division of the estate of Iakobos between his children, Ioannes and Kako (whose husband, Aurelius Patermouthis, here acts also for her). Upon the death of Iakobos his son and daughter had divided the property equally, leaving outstanding debts owed to their father to fall due, after which they would divide the proceeds. Ioannes then had sued Patermouthis about a half-share of a boat that Patermouthis had purchased from Iakobos and a share of a house which Patermouthis had purchased from Isakos and Tsone, but later sold to Iakobos, and the deed to which Ioannes seems to have found among his father's papers. What we have here is a record of the settling of that suit. Patermouthis and Kako agree to yield one quarter-share of the three quarter-shares, thus retaining a half-share of the boat. They also retain possession of the house share, regardless of the fact that Ioannes had got hold of the deed (which he is now to surrender). Ioannes further guarantees Patermouthis possession of a necklace the latter's daughter holds. Any attempt by either party to overturn the settlement is subject to a twelve solidi fine.
Lower papyrus (B) (P.Lond. V 1860(b) descr.): Fragment of a contract, belonging to the Patermouthis archive; it is probably the endorsement on the back (verso).
