I wish to lease from you for six years from the present day the goose-pen belonging to you in the village of Tebtynis, fitted with doors and keys, together with which I have received from you on the spot 100 laying hens and 7 laying geese and 800 (?) good geese, at a total annual rent of 160 drachmas of silver and, as extras, 10 hens and 300 hens' eggs and 2 fattened geese, you giving me for their feed each year 4 artabas of barley by the public measure of Tebtynis. And I will give you on the birthday festival 2 good geese and on the Souchia 2 good geese, you giving me for their price 96 drachmas of silver, the charge paid to the account of the nomarchy being your responsibility, Patron, [...] of the tax on the animals. And I will pay you the rent each year in two equal instalments, in Thoth and Phamenoth, and the extras whenever you wish, and after the term I will return to you the goose-pen clean of all filth with the doors and keys fitted to it, and the hens worth 200 drachmas, the laying geese 800 (?), the satisfactory geese 250 (?), if you agree to lease.
