Passage B
Antonius Silvanus, trooper of the 1st Mauretanian squadron of Thracians, prefect’s batman, troop of Valerius made his will. Of all my property, military and civilian, let M. Antonius Satrianus be my sole heir. Let all others be disinherited. And let him formally accept my inheritance within the first 100 days; if he has not accepted let him be disinherited and then in the second grade let Antonius, my brother, be my heir and formally accept my inheritance within the next 60 days. To him I give a legacy, if he does not become my heir, 750 denarii. As agent for my military property, to get my assets and hand them over to Antonia Thermutha the mother of my heir aforementioned, I appoint Hierax the son of Behex, corporal of the same squadron, troop of Aebutius; and she is to hold the property until my son and heir becomes free of guardianship and receives it from her. To Hierax I give as legacy 50 silver denarii. To Antonia Thermutha, mother of my heir aforementioned, I give as legacy 500 silver denarii. To my commanding officer I give as legacy 50 silver denarii. As to my slave Cronio after my death, if he shall have dealt correctly with everything and handed all to my heir aforementioned or to my agent, I wish him to be free, and I wish the 5% tax on him to be paid out of my estate.
