After the consulship of the most illustrious Flavius Oportium Pachon, in the fourth indiction.
To Aurelia Kyra and to the most noble Eustia, daughter of the memory of the illustrious Abraham, from the Hermopolites, from Aurelius David, son of Tapia the farmer from the village of Pselamunthos of Hermopolis.
I voluntarily and freely acknowledge that I have rented from your nobility for as long as you hold the mortgage made to your nobility from Archontia from the same city from the fruits that are now in the fields of the fortunate fourth indiction, the seven dry ones, situated in the plain of the same village, for sowing and deposit of the crops which I may choose from the produce, the tax of these I will pay annually in thirty artabas of wheat and six artabas of barley, which I will give as a new clean tax measured in Athenian measure and will measure to the Epiphany month at the time of harvest of each year without exception.
The lease is valid and certain, and having been asked, I have agreed. Aurelius David, son of Tapia from Hermopolis, I have rented as it is stated. Aurelius Theon, son of Papnouthius from Hermopolis, having been asked, I wrote on his behalf letters without knowing.
(hand 2?) Aurelius Ammounios, son of Gerontios from Hermopolis, I testify to the lease having heard from the one who set it.
(hand 3) Aurelius Horos, son of Pet[ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ] I testify to the lease having heard from the one who set it. (hand 4?) Aurelius Isakos [ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ̣ ] ̣ ̣ [ ̣ ̣ ] I testify to the lease having heard from [the one who set] it.
