English Translation

To Ischyrion, the royal scribe succeeding also in matters concerning the strategia,
from Onnophris son of Sambas, whose mother is Soeris, from the village of Tanaeis.
Sarapiōn, freedman of Petosorapis from the city of Oxyrhynchus, has approached me, having exceeded in the current 11th year the amount registered in the name of my deceased father Sambas, son of Onnophris, concerning the land at Sepho from the Epimenes allotment of royal land (amounting to 4 arouras?), having offered only for the current 11th year one (unit?).
Therefore, I, being the previous cultivator and having previously cleared the land, undertake according to the custom of the law the aforementioned one (unit?), on condition that after the current 11th year the aforementioned one (unit?) will be removed from me, and the cultivation will remain mine only upon payment of the taxes completed for the past 10th year.
But if in the coming 12th year there should occur drought or inundation, it will be accepted by me.
Year 11 of Emperor Caesar Titus Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Mecheir 26.
I, Onnophris son of Sambas, have submitted this.
