The fragment is kept in a folder titled ‘Åbo län’ along with other Finnish fragments. It contains the record of a hearing on 13 October 1597 in Turku. It seems likely that the fragment is one part of what was originally a larger compilation of court records from the court in Turku.

The later history of the fragment and how it came to the Swedish National Archives is not known. Since the fragment is kept together with other fragments relating to the courts of Finland, they may stem from the same location, possibly the Svea court of appeals.
