Petesouchos son of Horos, the former village headman of Lysimachis, came to me while I was suffering from fever and took from me 385 bundles of cut grass from the royal land which I cultivate, from the produce of the 7th year, yielding seven artabas of wheat per aroura (totaling) 21 artabas of wheat, on condition that he will measure out (the due amount) to the royal treasury for the rent.
