Isidora of Ptolemaïs, from the metropolis of the Arsinoite nome from the sacred gate, with my lord, my husband Marcus Lucretios Diogenes of Antinoe, as it is customary. I have made a bequest to my son Isidoros one day before my death, if there is anything for me of fields and houses and gold and garments and whatever I have according to the record against my husband Lucretios Diogenes, without the children of mine, two and fifty silver drachmas; for these I bequeath to my husband Lucretios Diogenes; I do not wish him to sell my two children and the drachmas of fifty, because I have already bequeathed them to him. I have gold earrings, one pair of two mina, and one pair of three mina, and likewise other gold of four mina and my garments and my bronze items. I have arranged all these for my son; I have arranged that the pair of earrings be sold and be given to my estate. As for my mother, Harpokratia, and my husband’s father of my son Lucretios Diogenes, to take care of my son and provide for his nourishment from all my possessions; I have arranged all these things in the presence of Sarapammon of Ualerius, a tenant of the village of Philadelphia and my mother Harpokratia and my sister Kotis and Aurelius Ignatius Apollinarius and the one who is written down, my lord and husband Lucretios Diogenes and Marcus Aurelius Serenus. The lady is the mediator. Isidora of Ptolemaïs I have arranged for my son the bequests through the mediators as is customary. Marcus Lucretios Diogenes, the husband and lord, has written on behalf of my illiterate wife Isidora and has been present at the mediation.

English Translation

In the twenty-second year of Emperor Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus, Greatest Parthicus, Greatest Britannicus, Greatest Germanicus, Most Pious Augustus, Hadrian, in Ptolemais Euergetis of the Arsinoite nome. I, Isidora daughter of Ptolemaios, from the metropolis of the Arsinoite nome, from the quarter of the Sacred Gate, together with my guardian and husband Marcus Lucretius Diogenes from Antinoopolis, as is customary, having made this disposition, have instructed my son Isidoros, one day before my death, concerning whatever property I possess—fields, plots of land, gold jewelry, clothing, and whatever else I have according to the written agreement with my husband Lucretius Diogenes—excluding my two slaves and five hundred drachmas of silver; for these I have already given as a gift to my husband Lucretius Diogenes. I do not wish him to claim my two slaves and the five hundred drachmas, since I have previously given them to him. I also have one pair of gold earrings weighing two mnaia, one pair of bracelets weighing three mnaia, and similarly other gold jewelry, five quarters, and my clothing and small bronze items. All these I have assigned to my son. I have ordered the pair of earrings to be sold and the proceeds spent on my funeral. I have instructed my mother Harpokratiainis and my husband, the father of my son, Lucretius Diogenes, to care for my son and to provide for his upbringing from all my possessions. I have made these arrangements in the presence of Sarapammon Valerius, a hired worker of the village of Philadelphia, my mother Harpokratiainis, my sister Kotis, Aurelius Ignatius Apollinarius, my aforementioned guardian and husband Lucretius Diogenes, and Marcus Aurelius Serenus. The disposition is valid.
