To Lucius Diogenes, and however he is styled, from Amoitas son of Dionysios, of Oxyrhynchus city, Persian of the epigone. I undertake to cultivate the land for four years, four inundations, from the present 15th year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, of the royal plots registered to him near Sinkepha, from the kleros of Dedys, 6 1/2 1/4 arouras, so as to sow and clear these in the 15th year and the 17th year with whatever crops I choose, except crops subject to tax, at a fixed rent each year of 10 artabas of vegetable seed, and in the 16th year and the last year, two years, to sow with wheat, at a fixed rent each year of 40 artabas of wheat, with an annual libation of 1 jar of wine, which will be […] in common; the annual fixed rents to be secure from every risk, the public dues on the land falling on the lessor, who shall also have control of the crops until he receives the annual fixed rents. If the lease is guaranteed, let the lessee pay the annual fixed rents always in the month of Pauni: the vegetable seed on the threshing floors of Sinkepha, new, clean, unadulterated, free of earth, sifted, by the 4-choinix measure of Longinus, with those doing the measuring on his behalf released from liability; and the wheat of the incoming year let him measure each year into the public granary of Sinkepha and hand over the receipt for it, free of all expense. And the lessor shall have the right of execution against the lessee and against all his property, as if by legal judgment. If any land becomes unflooded in the following years, allowance will be made to the lessee proportionally. The lease is valid.
