Cheranna, widow of Curtesus: Crete, 1348
Subject
Cheranna, widow of Curtesus
Description
Cheranna testates during an illness. She names her sister Chrusafa and Chrusafa's husband Samargia as her executors.
Cheranna attests that her late mother, Helea, had placed in Cheranna's hands 50 hyperpera that was intended for Chrusafa, but which Cheranna was supposed to invest for profit for ten years. The 50 hyperpera have yielded another 30 hyperpera, which Cheranna leaves to Chrusafa.
She orders that her estate be given as charity "pro anima mea."
She also instructs that the estates of her dead children, Moyses and Vlimidhi, for which she had been the executor, should also be distributed as the executors see fit "pro anima mea."
