1 In the seventh year of the Emperor Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, 21 Phamenoth, in
Tebtunis of the Polemon division of the Arsinoite nome. 5 Thenstotoetis, about sixteen years old, without distinguishing marks, with her kyrios
her father Heron son of Neilos about forty-four years old, with a scar on the little
finger of his left hand, and the same Heron, and the one who was the husband of Thenstotoetis, 10 Lysas the freedman of Herakleia the daughter of Lysimachos, about twenty-two years
old, with a scar on his right cheek, and Sosas, son of Areotos, about fifty-four years
old, with a scar on his right shin – these four acknowledge to each other that Thenstotoetis
and Lysas have jointly 15 annulled their marriage with each other, which was established by them (and) completed
by virtue of a written agreement (homologia) of marriage through the same record-office
in the fifth year of our lord Hadrian Caesar, … (day missing) Hathur, and they have also presented this [agreement] for the purpose of having it 20 annulled and invalidated. And (they acknowledge) that Heron has back from Sosas the
three hundred drachmas of silver (given) through the dowry agreement and all the parapherna.
And that it is possible for each [of them] to dispose [his own] things as 25 he or she chooses, and (it is possible) for Thenstotoetis to join herself in marriage
again, to [whatever] man she wishes, not [being] open to accusation from Lysas. And
that they will not bring charges against each other [about] any aspect of the things
connected with the marriage nor about any matter in general 30 up to the present day. [Subscriber] Marepsemis son of Pakebkis, [about] forty-eight
years old with a scar on his nose. [written in a second hand] Lysas, freedman of Herakleia,
[and] Sosas son of Areotos … that they have jointly annulled the marriage with Thenstouetis (sic), and that they 35 will not bring charges against each other in general. Marepsemis son of Pakebkis wrote
on their behalf since they do not know letters. (in a third hand) Thenstotoetis with her kyrios her father Heron – I have annulled the marriage and
I have back the dowry. Heron – 40 I wrote on her behalf because she does not know letters. (in a fourth hand) I have signed it.
