Latin Text (Abbreviations)

Αὐγού(στων) = Augustorum (of the Augusti)

English Translation

After the consulship of our lords Honorius for the 9th time and Theodosius for the 4th time, eternal Augusti, Thoth 30.
To the heirs of Phoibammon of illustrious memory, landowners from the dukes in the city of Oxyrhynchus,
from Aurelius Elias Kollouthos from the hamlet of Knapheus of the same nome.
I voluntarily undertake to lease, from the present year 89/58 until the sowing of the twelfth indiction, from the property belonging to us in the fields of the village Plelo, a plot of land called Paeanou, equipped with a water-wheel (mechanē), measuring thirty and a half and a quarter arouras, to sow fifteen arouras with wheat, with a fixed rent of one hundred twenty artabas of wheat, and five arouras with barley, with a rent of forty artabas of barley, and two arouras with vegetables, with a rent of six and a half artabas and four choinikes of vegetables, and the remaining eight and a half and a quarter arouras in grass, of which we shall have four and a quarter and an eighth arouras in grass. The rent is free from all risk, the public taxes being your responsibility as landowners. It is obligatory for me to deliver the rent by the proper measure at the appropriate time without delay and to undertake the transport of the grain (naubia). The lease is valid, and upon being questioned, I have agreed.
(hand 2) I, Aurelius Elias Kollouthos, have leased and will deliver the rent as stated above. I, Aurelius [...] have written on his behalf, as he does not know letters.
(hand 1) [...]
Lease of the water-wheel of the Paeanou plot to Elias Kollouthos from Knapheus.
