In this document, a father is handing down a house jointly to his two children, after their mother's death. The house is said to have been purchased within saint Phoibammon, which might refer to an area or a district, but could also suggest a house sold by representatives of the saint's shrine, as is the case in E02458, $Eß2459 and E02460.
Lines 24–30 read as follows:
