This document is a fragmentary Greek papyrus lease agreement from Roman Egypt, dating to the reign of Emperor Domitian (81–96 AD). It involves the leasing of agricultural land, specifying rent payments in wheat and conditions of the lease. The text is incomplete and contains several lacunae (missing sections), making a full reconstruction challenging.
