To Haryotes son of Alexas,
from Horos son of Horos, grandson of Horos, of those from the village of Bakchias, Persian of the Epigone. I wish to lease from you for four years, four sowings, from the present fifth year of Hadrian Caesar the lord, the 4 1/2 arouras of cleruchic land belonging to you around the aforementioned village of Bakchias, or however many there may be, in one parcel, at a total annual rent, including the 4 1/2 artabas of wheat seed which I shall receive from you, of 20 artabas of wheat by the six-choinix receiving measure of Alexas your brother, free from deductions and from risk. And I shall carry out all the farming work each year that is required, at my own expense, each at the proper time, causing no damage, and I shall pay the annual rent in the month of Pauni in the village, new, clean, unadulterated, free of barley; and after the term I shall hand over the arouras clean of rushes, reeds, dog's-tooth grass and all weeds, and half the land rested with green fodder and the remaining half from stubble, the transport costs for the extra cultivation (?) being my responsibility, Horos, if it seems good to you to lease on the above terms.
Haryotes, about 59 years old, scar on the ankle of the left foot.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
