In the consulship of our masters Licinius Augustus for the 5th time and Crispus the most noble Caesar for the 1st time.
To the heirs of […] Valerius, through Matrinus, guardian,
from the Aurelii Leonides son of Theon and Ammonios son of Kopreus, both from the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites. We voluntarily undertake to lease for the present 13th, 11th and 3rd year only, from the land belonging to them near the Iseion of Pangas in the embanked area of Nesla, by survey 5 arouras, formerly of Thonios called the Younger, for sowing with flax, and to pay you as rent for each aroura 3 talents and 1,000 drachmas of silver, all free of every risk, the public charges on the land and the annona falling on you, the landowners, who shall have control of the crops until you recover what is owed.
If this undertaking is confirmed (?) to us, we shall of necessity pay the money rent in the two months Epeiph and […] of the same year without delay, the right of execution being yours against us, who are mutually guarantors for payment, as is proper. The undertaking is valid, and having been asked the formal question we have assented.
In the aforesaid consulship, Hathyr 14. I, Valerius Matrinus, through me Dionysios, have received the duplicate of this.

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.
