The annual agricultural works of the fields, all that is appropriate from their own times; and I will deliver the produce to you annually in the month of Pauni, on the new clean and unadulterated harvest, and the tax in the month of Phamenoth, concerning those that are due to me for the annual harvests of the produce, and after the time I will deliver the clean fields from the utmost fear of all except the reed of the river; confirm for me the lease and the clean from all public lands; if it seems to be leased. I, the elder of the Ptolemaic, have leased to all those who are due as it is appropriate. I, the younger of the Ptolemaic, have leased as it is appropriate.
