I read somewhere that according to a papyrus the mother (the parents?) of a dead soldier were given some of his shares, e.g. one tenth of the sum for a tent.

Maybe this papyrus is mentioned in Fink, Roman Military Records on Papyrus, but it might well be one of Carol van Direl-Murray's articles.

Don't have the time to look it up at the moment, sorry Sad
