In this document two half-sisters agree over the terms on how to share a house they jointly inherited from their common grandmother. The property in question is located in Jeme, in the area of saint Ananias.
'The entire house and that yard are located in the castron Jeme, in the neighbourhood of the one who shines forth from among the saints, the saint Apa Ananias, the bishop.'
