An offer to lease a flock of sheep and goats, submitted by Horion son of Heron from the village of Euhemeria, for two years from Pauni of the third year of Severus Alexander at a price of 48 silver drachmas. He undertakes to return the animals in their existing condition at the end of the term. It was written on 7 May 224, probably in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […]naios (?) Horion son of Heron, from the village of Euhemeria. I wish to lease from you sheep […] (and) 3 goats from the month of Pauni of the current 3rd year, of which, having sheared the strong ones […] having five months […] two goats […] of silver 48 drachmas {…}, total 48 drachmas, and for two years from the current third year, and after the term I will return to you the sheep and the goats as they are. […] Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander Pius Felix Augustus, Pachon 12.

The catalogue title describes the document as a lease of agricultural real property, but the text concerns a lease of animals. Several words about shearing and the animals' ages are lost, so details of the terms are uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Ὑπόμνημα περὶ μισθώσεως ἀγροτικοῦ ἀκινήτου). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
