"In the year of Nero Claudius Caesar, the one who has been appointed regarding the law, I wish to purchase from the public land, free from all obligations, the following lands: one aroura and regarding the Hermocrates, three arouras of the same district, and regarding the Istrus, four arouras of the same district, and regarding Na, three arouras likewise, and regarding Sinari and Talau, seven arouras likewise, and regarding Ephe, four arouras likewise, and regarding Thmoinops, three arouras likewise. (They are) to be counted as the same (arouras). Therefore, I will write down these lands to be transferred to the public treasury, the fixed price of each aroura being twelve drachmas of silver. Furthermore, I will have an exemption from the collection and processing for three years from the fifth year of Nero Claudius Caesar, the August German Emperor, with which I will complete the necessary arrangements for each aroura of wheat that appears, one arta, and the shipping fee, and I will not be disturbed in any other way. Moreover, the rights and authority of those who will inherit from me will be unalterable for all time. Therefore, if it appears, it will be arranged according to what is appropriate for each to fulfill in the manner that is fitting."

[From ...] of the Oxyrhynchite nome. I wish to purchase from the public treasury, free from all liability, plots of land that have been abandoned until the present fourth year of Nero Claudius Caesar, lying uncultivated in the middle toparchy of the same nome, converting one aroura from uncultivated grain-land into cultivated grain-land, and around the Hermokrates settlement of the same toparchy three arouras, and around the settlement of Istros of the same toparchy similarly four arouras, and around N[...] similarly three arouras, and around Sinary and Talao similarly seven arouras, and around Epie similarly four arouras, and around Thmoinepsobthis similarly three arouras; total twenty-five arouras. On condition that, having received these, I shall register them at the local public bank at the fixed price of twelve silver drachmas per aroura, and I shall have exemption from taxes for three years for their reclamation and cultivation, starting from the fifth year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator. After this period, I shall pay one artaba of wheat per aroura that appears sown, and the shipping tax, but I shall not be troubled by anything else whatsoever. The possession and ownership of these lands shall remain irrevocably mine and my descendants' and those who inherit from me forever. If this is acceptable, instructions shall be given to those responsible to carry out each matter as is fitting.
