In the first year of Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasian Caesar, on the twelfth day of the month Kaisareios, at Theadelphia in the Themistos division of the Arsinoite nome, Aphrodisios son of Apollonios, about sixty years old, with a scar on his right forearm, leased to Soterichos son of Lykos, a Persian of the epigone, about twenty-four years old, with a scar under his chin, the vineyard belonging to him near Theadelphia, planted with trees, measuring half an aroura or however much it may be. This lease is for three years, beginning from the coming second year of Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasian Caesar, at one-third share to the lessee of the fruits and produce from the vineyard each year, free from taxes and all other charges, after deducting jointly all expenses related to wine-making and the wine required at the winepress. The lessee may not abandon the lease within the agreed period; rather, he shall dig the vineyard each year with two diggings, one in winter with a clean fourfold digging, and the other in summer with a single digging; and he shall prune the vines moderately and properly, not cutting them too long. Regarding the annual manuring, fertilizing, and sanding, Aphrodisios shall provide donkeys, and the lessee shall perform the digging-in and spreading. He shall also annually construct reed trellises with five supports, with Aphrodisios providing reeds and ropes for the remaining supports. The lessee shall also perform the annual irrigation from the first day of Pharmouthi until the subsequent irrigation from the foot, once every two days, and shall bear the expense of providing the water-drawer. All fruits growing in the vineyard shall belong to the lessee, from which he shall give annually [...]. After the lease period, the lessee shall return the vineyard clean of brushwood.
