Modern Title Deed of Mediation
Summary 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.
