English Translation (Partial and Tentative)

"To Aurelia Charite, (daughter/wife?) of Amazonios, from Hermopolis, the most illustrious city, and as you are styled, from Aurelii Kastor... [unclear text] and ...rios, son of Paulos, from the settlement (epoikion) K[...], concerning matters occurring in the settlement A[...], we wish voluntarily and of our own accord to lease from you [...] of the fortunate [...] indiction [...] belonging [...] the allotment [...] ninety-four [...] land as many arouras as [...] deposit/payment [...]"

Notes:

• The text is fragmentary and incomplete, making a full and precise translation impossible.
• It appears to be a lease or rental agreement involving land ("arouras" being a measure of land).
• "Indiction" refers to a 15-year tax cycle used in late Roman and Byzantine administration.
• "Hermopolis" is a known ancient city in Egypt, suggesting the document originates from Roman/Byzantine Egypt.
• The names "Aurelia," "Amazonios," "Kastor," and "Paulos" are common in late antique Greek papyri.
