English Translation

To Aurelia Charis, daughter of Amazonios [and as you are officially known], from Aurelius Patcheuios:
I willingly and voluntarily wish to lease from you the orchard called [Porporthmeion] for one year,
for the agreed-upon rent between us of three talents of silver (totaling three talents of silver),
while you, the landowner, retain half of the same orchard for the duration of the indiction.
The lease is valid, and upon being questioned, I have agreed.
In the consulship of the current year, on the 12th of Phamenoth.
I, the aforementioned, have leased as stated above.
Olympios, having been requested, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.
