Description
The document contains a notification by Stephanous, with the consent of her husband Marcus (a "chief physician") to a revenue officer. Stephanous agrees that she will, in the future, pay in full or in part some annual fees paid to date by her father, John, in consideration of her having received from him a gift of land as a dowry. The measurements of the fragment are 313 by 305 millimetres (12.3 in × 12.0 in).[2]
It was discovered by Grenfell and Hunt in 1897 in Oxyrhynchus. The text was published by Grenfell and Hunt in 1898.[2]
