- Fragments of Contracts (P.Lond. V 1855, P.Muench. I 15, TM 15323)
- Scope & Content:
-
Upper fragments (A): Additional fragments of P.Münch. I 15. Thelporine sells a room and a courtyard for two solidi of the old currency to a soldier whose name is lost. Even though none of the parties is known elsewhere, this conveyance is very closely connected with P. Münch. 16 in time, as the identity of the drafter and the repetition of his formulary indicate. It is probably the same courtyard in both documents.
Fragment in the centre (B): Part of a contract, written by Marcus, son of Apa Dios.
Lower fragment (C): Illegible.
