Aurilius Antoninus Caesar.
To Ptolemaios, son of Ptolemaios, who is the gymnasiarch, from Orsenouphios of Komon, from the Heracleian village of Kerkesouchon Mountain. I wish to lease from you for four years from the year of the reign of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar, the lord, from your possessions regarding the village of Areos, three and a half aruras of land in one seal. For the first and third, still for the yield of wheat, I will receive three and a half artabas of wheat per year, a total of fifty-two artabas of wheat per year in your own measure. For the second and fourth, still for the yield of grass, I will sow for myself for the feeding of sheep, all uncountable and unmovable, and I will complete all the yearly works of the aruras as is appropriate from my own in due season and I will pay the taxes yearly in the month of Pauni with pure, unadulterated new produce, the measurement being made through some of yours, being present among the ones of the wheat supply of the overseers, and the production of the taxes to you. And after the time, I will return the aruras clean from any weeds, except for the reeds, and I will have a confirmation of the lease and the cleanliness from the public taxes if it seems appropriate to lease.

To Ptollarion, former gymnasiarch, son of Ptollarion, former gymnasiarch,
from Orsenouphis, son of Komon, grandson of Herakleios, from the village
of Kerkesoucha Oros. I wish to lease from you for four years, starting from
the coming 17th year of Aurelius Antoninus Caesar the lord, from your property
near the village of Areos, three and a half arouras of land in one parcel.
In the first and third year for sowing wheat, with a rent for the two-year period
each year, including the seed wheat I will receive, three and a half artabas,
totaling fifty-two and a half artabas of wheat per year, measured by your own
four-choenix measure. In the second and fourth year for sowing fodder,
sowing it yourself for sheep grazing, all without calculation and without risk.
I will perform each year all necessary agricultural tasks at my own expense
at the proper times, and I will deliver the rent each year in the month Pauni
at the threshing floor, new, clean, and pure, the measurement being made by
one of your own people in my presence, with me responsible for the threshing
of the wheat crop and the prompt delivery of the rent to you. After the lease
period, I will return the fields clean from all weeds and wild growth except reeds.
The lease is guaranteed to me free from public charges, if it appears good to lease.
