This is the will made in the by me Acusilaus son of Dius son of Dionysius also called Acusilaus and of Dionysia daughter of Theon, of the city of Oxyrhynchus, being sensible and in my right mind. So long as I survive I am to have power over my property, to make whatever disposition I choose and to alter and revoke the present will, and whatever disposition I make shall be valid.

I bequeath to my wife and cousin Aristous also called Apollonarion daughter of Heracleides son of Dionysius also called Acusilaus and of Herais daughter of Alexander, being well disposed and showing all faithfulness towards me, whatever I may leave in the way of furniture, utensils, objects of gold, clothing, ornaments, wheat, pulse, crops, all my household stock, and debts owed to me, recorded and unrecorded. I leave my son Dius by my aforesaid wife Aristous also called Apollonarion, if he lives, and if not, his children, heir to all the property that I leave and to my other slaves and the future offspring of the aforesaid female slaves, of all which things my said wife Aristous also called Apollonarion shall have the use and entire income, after payment of the taxes, for the term of her life, together with the service and the earnings of the slaves who are to be freed after my death. My said wife shall supply to my son Dius every month at Oxyrhynchus for his sustenance and other expenses two artabas of wheat by the measure used for payment . . . and 60 drachmas, and for clothing 200 drachmas yearly.

My said wife Aristous also called Apollonarion shall pay all the debts which I shall be found to owe. My wife, and after her death my son Dius, shall give to my slaves and freedmen for a feast which they shall hold beside my tomb every year on my birthday 100 silver drachmas wherewith to furnish it. Anything that I append to the officially returned copy of the will, whether cancelling or supplementing or making bequests to other persons or with any other purpose, shall also be valid as if contained in the actual will; beyond this no one shall have any power at all to infringe it, and the party who infringes it shall forfeit to the party who abides by it the damages and a penalty of 2 silver talents and to the Treasury the like sum, the above provisions remaining none the less valid. This will is valid. I, the aforesaid Acusilaus son of Dius, have made this will, the whole body of which is in my own writing, with all the above provisions. I am 48 years of age, with a scar on the right foot, and my seal is an image of Thonis.
