Lawsuit about a will

(2nd century A.D.)

The papyrus, of which four detached fragments remain, is inscribed both on verso and recto. The line is apparently a long one. On the recto, three columns can be distinguished. The verso bears two columns only, written upside down in relation to those on the recto. From the use of the word diatagma it seems justifiable to infer that these fragments deal with a lawsuit about a will. The verso appears to deal with the same case: the hand is very similar, only somewhat more cursive.
