P.Oxy. 14 1637 verso

27.6 x 11.6

JE47490

Division of landed property

(A.D. 257-9)

On the verso of P.Oxy. XII 1531 is a much abbreviated copy of a contract for the division of landed property in the Oxyrhynchite and Hermopolite nomes among five persons, including a brother and sister, and probably two brothers. All the parties to the contract were acting with or through someone else. The division was made in accordance with the decision of a judge appointed by Mussius Aemilianus, at first vice-praefect and then praefect in 257-9. The writing reaches the end of a column, but may have been continued in a second column, for the papyrus is broken vertically on the right-hand side, and the ends of lines are missing throughout. The writing becomes larger towards the end of the column.
