In the suburbs of this city, in difficult placements of fields, it is more than less than all of them of the just for as long as you wish from the future fruits of the eleventh indiction and of itself and from the remaining fruits from them, to differ from the legumes to you, to Valentinus, three parts, and to me one part, and from the grass, five parts to you and one part to me, and I must fulfill the works concerning the cultivation of the same fields, all to be done without disdain and without reproach for me and the binding of all the grass; of all the four-footed animals and the necessary seeds and cutting or even tilling; of the grass seeing towards you, the landholder, being taken away from the community, only the seeds and the wage of the harvest, I will take care to sell this grass to you as it is thought that the grass should not exceed sixty; nor should I seek to receive a custom from you, Valentinus. Aurelius Elias, son of Hellas, the vine-dresser, who is mentioned, has rented the aforementioned fields, more than less, and accordingly to all those mentioned as is appropriate, and I have released the city of Arsinoe, having been deemed worthy, I wrote on behalf of him, being present, as an illiterate. I bear witness here to this lease as it is appropriate.

[καρπῶν τῆς εἰσιούσης ἑ]νδεκάτης ἰνδικτίονος καὶ αὐτῆς καὶ ἐκ τῶν περιγιγνομένων ἐξ αὐτῶν καρπῶν
[ἀπὸ μὲν τῶν ὀσπρέω]ν διαφέρειν σοι τῷ Οὐαλεντίνῳ μέρη τρεία κἀμοὶ μέρος ἓν ἀπὸ δὲ τοῦ χόρτου
