"The reception of the leaves which are in use, the continuous cultivation and herbalism, and to stand by you in the estate and in the reed before the mules that are lame towards where it is necessary to throw the soil and I will make the sound of those who are pouring into the wine, taking these things, the wine in the sun and I will anoint and I will place and I will guard as long as it is there and I will accomplish for you concerning all the vineyard works of each field from geometry, four hundred drachmas of silver, and the things that are safe from all danger, truly concerning you the landholder, being assured of the reception. The things that are mine, all of them, the reception and having been asked, I confessed (the year) 6 of our Lord Diocletian the Augustus. Aurelius Agathos received me for the leasing of all the agricultural works of the northern fields and having been asked, I confessed Aurelius wrote on behalf of him, not knowing letters."

"[...] collection [of leaves?] which are useful [...]
[watering and continuous weeding, and furthermore]
and that I stand [beside you in the] property and [in the reed-bed before the donkeys carrying (loads) to the place]
where it is necessary to throw the soil, and I will perform [the task of those who carry the light baskets into the wine]
and having taken these things, the wine [...]
[in the sun-drying place, and I will smear and move]
and [...] and I will guard [it] carefully as long as it is stored there, and I will pay you for all the vineyard works [for each aroura (land measure) according to measurement, four thousand drachmas of silver]
and [...] safely from every danger
[being] towards you, the landowner, with my receipt being guaranteed."
"All things belonging to me, the receipt being authoritative, and having been questioned, I acknowledged.
(Year) 6 of our lord Diocletian Augustus.
I, Aurelius Agathos, have undertaken [the vineyard works] for lease,
all of the northern arouras [...] and having been questioned, I acknowledged. I, Aurelius [...], wrote on behalf of him who stated that he did not know [letters]."
This document appears to be a contractual agreement or lease concerning agricultural (particularly vineyard) work, mentioning specific tasks such as watering, weeding, soil management, wine processing, and storage. It includes a monetary agreement (four thousand drachmas per aroura) and references to guarantees and receipts. The second fragment explicitly dates the document to the reign of Emperor Diocletian (late 3rd to early 4th century CE), indicating a Roman-era context in Egypt.
