Lease of Cows
Description
Originally thought to be a lease of slaves, C.W. Keyes (BL 3.152) showed that the document was actually a lease of cows, with rent to be paid in wheat instead of money. If the cows die during the term of the lease the loss is to be made good by the lessee. Any offspring produced in that time are also to belong to the lessee. The lease is addressed to the Aurelii Petirius and Lycarion through their agent Apollinarios from Aurelius from the village of Ibion
