Only the end of the legal document survives, in which a woman named Theognosta from Hermopolis authorizes a notary to address the dikaion of an oratory (eukterion) with respect to a donation or possibly a more regular payment. Various witnesses sign the document at the end of which the type of gift is specified as the amount of 40 jugs of wine, measures of wheat, as well as a part of the year’s harvest.
