In the seventh year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, in the month of Hyperberetaios, in the fourth year of Mesore, in Philadelphia of the Heracleid district of the Arsinoite nome, Pasion son of Petalos rented for a period of forty-nine years, nine olive trees, with a left-hand counter-signature of Harmius son of Horus the Persian of the lineage, for a period of forty years, with the first finger of the left hand, the property belonging to him around the aforementioned village, a plot of land of three arouras or however many it may be, calling it a half-aroura for three years from the beginning of the eighth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, for the first two years, two per year, along with the harvest of thirty-three arta of barley, and in the third year, which is the last year of the lease, for the sowing of grass for fodder and the grazing of sheep, nine arta of wheat, all measured by the fourth measure of merchants, without any accounting. Therefore, it should not be permitted for the lessee to abandon the lease before the time, but also all the annual works of the land and the earthworks and watering and all other agricultural care should be performed by him from his own resources, and the annual taxes should be paid to Pasion always in the month of Pauni in the village, new, pure, and unadulterated, and after the time, he should deliver the land clean from the debris of the reed grass, all kinds of weeds, and laid down as is appropriate; if any manure is produced, each should give according to half, of the action being to Pasion, both from the Harmius and from all that belongs to him, just as it is right. Let Pasion himself confirm the lease on the aforementioned terms and from public records. Signed by Herakles, son of Phaesios, for twenty-one years, nine cubits on the right. Pasion son of Petalos, I have rented the land for all the aforementioned and I will confirm. Harmius son of Horus the Persian of the lineage, I have rented the land around Philadelphia of Pasion, a plot of three arouras or however many it may be, calling it a half-aroura for three years from the eighth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, for the first two years, two per year, along with the harvest of thirty-three arta of barley, and in the last year for the collection of fodder for the grazing of sheep, nine arta of wheat, all measured by the fourth measure of merchants, and the other things should be done as is appropriate. I have written on his behalf, Herakles, son of Phaesios, because he does not know letters. In the year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Mesore, it has been registered by Bacchus.
