Abstract
Abstract The article offers an edition of a Greek papyrus belonging to the Austrian National Library which contains a fragment of a donatio mortis causa drawn up in Hermoupolis Magna. Donationes mortis causa are documents used in Roman and Byzantine Egypt for disposing of one’s property in anticipation of death. Since the present papyrus seems to date from the last third of the 6th century A.D., it provides us with one of the latest attestations of this kind of document.
