Translation

Of the most divine lord Flavius Justinian, the eternal Augustus, Emperor, in the thirteenth year after the consulship of Flavius Apion, the most illustrious, on the new moon of Pharmouthi, in the indiction.

To Flavius Joseph, son of Peter, the most wonderful, from the Hermopolites, by Flavius Ammonius Kollouthos, henceforth signing from soldiers from the same city. I voluntarily and arbitrarily acknowledge that I have rented from you for as long as you wish, counting from this present day, which is the new moon of Pharmouthi of the present third indiction, one room in the first roof facing south with the part of the well and the middle room and entrance and exit and ascent and descent and the remaining utilities and rights from the part of the house you are renting, a whole house situated in the same Hermopolites at the crossroad of the city of the departed towards my dwelling and use, renting the same room at the rate of three half gold keratia per year, which I will pay to you at the end of each year without fail, and whenever you wish to have it, I will deliver to you the same room with the door and key as I have received. The lease is valid and secure, and when questioned, I have acknowledged it.

Joseph, son of Peter, from Ammonius Kollouthos from the Hermopolites, I testify to the lease having heard from the appointed one.
