A Latin Private Document on Papyrus (ChLA XLIV 1300 recto)

Abstract

The paper offers an editio princeps for an unpublished Latin documentary papyrus, ChLA XLIV 1300 recto (= P.Vindob. inv. L 74 recto). The typology of the document is uncertain, and three hypotheses on its nature – a contract of deposit, dotal settlments, legatees in a Roman testament – are proposed.
