In the reign of Ptolemy (year) of the month of Gorpiaios, in the presence of the priest Menelaus son of Laagos. This is a written document and agreement. Thus Dionysius of Timnitis arranged for his wife Callista. If Dionysius suffers anything, he should leave all his possessions to Callista and she shall be the mistress of all his possessions until she lives. If Callista suffers anything while Dionysius is alive, Dionysius shall be the master of the possessions. If Dionysius suffers anything, let him leave the possessions to all his sons, and likewise if Callista suffers anything, let her leave the possessions to all her sons except for the parts which they may receive from Dionysius and Callista, worked by Bacchios son of Heracleides and Metrodoros while the father is alive and the mother. And when Bacchios son of Heracleides Metrodoros is married and registered, let the possessions of Dionysius and Callista be common to all the sons. If any of them are in debt or owe anything, let Dionysius or Callista, while alive, be supported by all the sons together and let them all pay the debts. If any of them do not wish to support or pay together or do not wish to be buried together, let him pay a thousand drachmas of silver and the action shall be from the one who is disobedient and does not act according to what is written. If Dionysius or Callista leave any debt, it shall be permitted for the sons not to interfere, if they do not wish to do so after the death of Dionysius and Callista. This document shall be entirely valid wherever it may be presented as having been made in the exchange. And the document was placed with the document keeper Heracleitos. Witnesses: Polycrates son of Arcas, Androsthenes of Chios, Numenius of Crete, Simonides of Maroneia, Lysis son of Heracleitos of Timnitis.

In the reign of Ptolemy, year 40, month Gorpiaios, under the priesthood of Menelaos son of Laagos. Contract and agreement. Dionysios of Temnos has made the following disposition to Kallista of Temnos, his wife: If Dionysios should suffer anything (i.e., die), he leaves all his possessions to Kallista, and she shall have full authority over all the property as long as she lives. If Kallista should suffer anything while Dionysios is alive, Dionysios shall have authority over the property. If Dionysios should suffer anything, he shall leave the property to all his sons; likewise, if Kallista should suffer anything, she shall leave the property to all the sons, except for the portions which Bacchios, Herakleides, and Metrodoros may receive from Dionysios and Kallista while working during the lifetime of their father and mother. After Bacchios, Herakleides, and Metrodoros marry and establish their own households, the property of Dionysios and Kallista shall be common to all the sons. If Dionysios or Kallista should fall into poverty or owe debts while alive, all the sons shall jointly support them and jointly repay the debts. If any of them refuses either to support or to repay debts or to participate in burial rites, he shall pay a penalty of one thousand drachmas of silver, and legal action shall be taken against the one who disobeys and does not act according to what is written. If Dionysios or Kallista leave behind any debt, the sons shall have the right not to inherit if they do not wish to, after the death of Dionysios and Kallista. This contract shall be valid everywhere and in every respect, wherever it is presented, as if the transaction had taken place there. They willingly deposited this contract with the contract-keeper Herakleitos. Witnesses: Polykrates of Arkadia, Androsthenes of Kos, Noumenios of Crete, Simonides of Maroneia, Lysis and Herakleitos of Temnos.
