I wish to rent from you the salted-fish shop of the village of Apiados in the Themistos division,

Written through the village notary in the 14th year of Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius,
in the month Dystros, Tybi 29.
This document is a lease agreement from Roman Egypt, specifically from the reign of Emperor Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD). It involves the rental of a salted-fish shop ("ταριχοπωλικὴν") in the village of Apiados. The text includes personal descriptions (such as a scar on the left shin) for identification purposes, a common practice in ancient contracts. The dating references the Egyptian calendar months Mecheir and Tybi, and the Roman imperial regnal year.
