Notes

This document appears to be a fragmentary lease or rental agreement from the late Roman period (late 3rd to early 4th century CE), mentioning emperors Diocletian, Maximian, Constantius, and Maximian (Galerius?), who ruled jointly around the late 3rd and early 4th centuries CE. The text is fragmentary, and thus the translation is partial and approximate.
