Kerana, wife of Linchiachus

Kerana testates during an illness, and names her mother Herini as her executor. She leaves her daughter Kali 10 hyperpera. She also gives Kali a home that Kerana had received from her own mother. She also leaves money for expenses for her son Puerulo. She also leaves objects (a silk cloak and "par unum de sorcellis que habeo") to pay for her burial costs. The rest should go to Kerana's sons, Iaco and Helia, "with this condition: that if either die before they come of age, that the part of the deceased should go to the living." If both die, their legacy should go to Xeno, Kerana's brother.
