This document records the settlement of a dispute over the inheritance of a house and a farm, where one party claimed these belonged to the County's communal property. Such strains between individual and communal inheritance rights might reflect the growth of personal property and a market for land and its products alongside the traditional forms of inheritance bound up with kinship. The document is written in Gāndhārī language in the Kharoṣṭhī script used in third to fourth-century Kroraina.
