In the fourteenth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, in the month of Loios, on the sixth and twentieth day, in Tebtunis of the province of Arsinoites, it was leased by Aunes of Aphrodisius for a period of fifty-five years, with a plot of land of five arouras or however many there may be, if they exist, in one seal in the so-called Disaieroi for three years from the present fourteenth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, the first and last year for the sowing of wheat, the whole amount annually with the seeds which the Hipparch will receive from Aunes' wheat, five artabas of the whole wheat of sixty artabas, for the second year for the sowing of grass as of those of Aunes, Aunes himself providing the seeds, and for the Hipparch the watering and the fertilization of the greens, and the outputs shall be given by the lessee to Aunes annually in the month of Pauni, established in the Hipparch's provision of the outputs measured annually, common measuring. And all the works of the plot and the necessary watering and fertilizing shall be done by the lessee at the proper times, with no damage done, and after the time he shall deliver the plot clean from all weeds, so that the lessee shall be responsible for the actions to Aunes or to those who are with him, both from the lessee and from all that belongs to him, just as it is from justice and guarantees. Aunes shall annually receive the rent from the public revenues and from all kinds. Signed by the Hipparch as of thirty-two years, with a lease from Aunes of Aphrodisius, and I shall confirm the lease as it is stated. Hipparch Heracles of the descendants of Persis is leased from Aunes of Aphrodisius for all the things stated and confirmed as it is stated. He wrote because he did not know the letters of the year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus.
