"In the reign of Ptolemy and Alexander, the god Philometor, and of Queen Berenice, the sister of the goddess Philadelphus, in the year of the 16th, on the 6th day of the month of Audnaios, in the village of Tanasa, it is agreed by Philotas, son of Heracleides, a Persian of the lineage, and his wife Agathoclea, and Tneforos, son of Nechthymios, a Persian, together with her lord, her husband Dionysios, son of Heracleides, Argive, heir of the paternal estate, to remain in the existing vineyard of the vineyard workers and those who are cultivating from Mecheir until Thoth, the thirtieth of the 17th year, neither being absent nor having been absent from the declared vineyard, and they agree to pay into the established account of the six measures of wheat. The vineyard works shall be completed as necessary. If any day they should be negligent, they shall pay five hundred bronze drachmas for each day, receiving as much as Herakleios may give to the vineyard worker. If they should pay to all and the vineyard workers, they shall pay five bronze talents and the damage and twenty silver drachmas into the royal treasury. They shall be responsible for each other for the establishment, and the action shall be for Dionysios and those with him, both from him and from those existing with him. The writing shall be valid. Witnesses: Nysios, Sotas, Archon, Dionysios, the five necessary ones, and Pneferos. The scribe is Mithrodates, son of Heracleides, having received the authority. I have written concerning him, having been deemed worthy because he claims not to be subject to writings."

In the reign of Ptolemy also called Alexander, the god Philometor, and Queen Berenice, his sister, the goddess Philadelphus, in the sixteenth year, under the priesthood of Alexander in Alexandria, and those recorded in Alexandria, on the sixth day of the month Audnaeus Hathyr, in the village of Tanaso in the Heracleopolite nome:
Philotas, son of Heracleides, a Persian of the epigone, and his wife Agathocleia also called Tnephoros, daughter of Nechthatymis, a Persian woman, together with her guardian husband Dionysius, son of Heracleides, an Argive, heir of the paternal estate, agree to remain on the vineyard belonging to him, cultivating vines and irrigating from the first day of Mecheir until the thirtieth day of Thoth of the seventeenth year, without absence from the said vineyard, and they agree to pay as rent six artabas of wheat. They will perform the vineyard work as is proper. For each day they neglect their duties, they shall pay five hundred bronze drachmas per day, and whatever additional rent Heracleios gives to the vine-worker. If they neglect the entire vineyard work, they shall pay five bronze talents, compensation for damages, and twenty silver drachmas to the royal treasury. They guarantee each other for payment, and the right of execution shall belong to Dionysius and those appointed by him, from their own persons and their property. This contract shall be valid. Witnesses: Nysios, Sotas, Archonas, Dionysius, the five required witnesses, and Pnepheros. Keeper of the contract: Mithrodates, son of Heracleides. Registered in the 16th year, Hathyr 6.
Philotas, son of Heracleides, Persian of the epigone, and his wife Agathocleia also called Tnephoros, daughter of Nechthatymis, Persian woman, together with her guardian husband, we agree to remain cultivating vines and irrigating from the first day of Mecheir until the thirtieth day of Thoth of the seventeenth year, and we owe as rent six artabas of wheat, and we will do as previously written, and we have given authority to Mithrodates.
I, Ptolemaios, wrote this on his behalf, having been requested because he claims not to know letters.
Mithrodates, son of Temarchides, I have received authority.
