To Anoubion son of Isidoros […] son of […]aroutis, his mother being Kleopatra, in the village of Phnebieus Lower, of the plain of Apollonopolis and Narmouthis, absent, through Chairemon son of Chairemon, his agent, from Harphaesis son of Kronion son of Teos, from the village of Tebtynis, Persian of the Epigone. I wish to lease from you for two years from the present 17th year, near Tebtynis, from the holding of 10 arouras under self-cultivation, the 5 arouras of these on the eastern side, in return for the annual transport charges and the grain and money taxes on them, sowing each year whatever crops I choose. And I, Harphaesis, have received from you through Chairemon on account of advance 48 drachmas, and for the price of the seed another 48 drachmas, which, making together 96 silver drachmas, I will repay in Pauni of the present 17th year without interest, while I carry out all the agricultural work on the arouras that is proper, at my own expense, at the due seasons, doing no damage; and when the term is completed I will hand over the arouras clean of rushes, reeds, dog's-tooth grass and all weeds. If it seems good, lease them. I, Anoubion son of Isidoros, of the Sosikosmian tribe and Althaean deme, through Chairemon, have leased the aforesaid arouras on the above terms for two years from the present 17th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord.
