English Translation

Sarapiōn and Exakōn, both sons of Herodes son of Exakōn, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, and their mother Caecilia Polla, have leased to Hōros son of Emōchis son of Cachychis, from the village of Psōbthis in the middle toparchy of Persinē, for a period of three years, three harvests, from the month of Tybi of the current seventh year of Emperor Caesar Trajan the lord until the 30th of Choiak of the tenth year of Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, the olive-grove orchard belonging to them located in the southern parts of the same Psōbthis, in which there are date-palms and other fruit-bearing trees, at an annual rent agreed upon between them of one hundred and sixty silver drachmas and three artabas of choice black olives, free from all risk concerning the public taxes on the orchard, which are the responsibility of the lessors. Upon confirmation of the lease, the lessee shall pay the annual rent in two installments each year: eighty drachmas in the month of Hathyr each year, and the remaining eighty drachmas in the month of Choiak each year. The olives shall be delivered annually whenever the lessors choose. Regarding the irrigation of the orchard, it shall be watered from the hydraulic machine... The lessee shall have the right to sublease to others for vegetable cultivation. At the end of the lease period, he shall return the orchard to the lessors clean of brush, weeds, and any other debris, and with all plants alive and healthy. Legal action, if necessary, shall be available to the lessors against the lessee and all his property as if by court judgment. The lease is valid. (Year 7 of Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Tybi 1.) The lessors shall have rights over all date-palms and fruit-bearing trees. I, Hōros son of Emōchis son of Cachychis, have leased.
