| Summary of Content |
A deed of mediation. Unfortunately the text is very fragmentary. Women are mentioned and Patermoute, which suggests that the text might be part of the so-called Patermouthis-archive. Several women are mentioned, and in connection with Tapia the words ⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓⲍⲉ and ⲁⲓⲭⲙⲁⲗⲱⲧⲓⲁ are used - that refers to imprisonment of some sort, on many occasions for debt, in private documents. Later "three free women" are mentioned in the text. |

| Comment on Gender |
"Imprisonment" stands in the text, in connection with a woman/women, then "three free women" are mentioned. In private documents we see that often the children or the wife of a debtor were "imprisoned" until a debt is cleared, not the debtor himself. May that be the case here? |
