Since I have held and cultivated for a period of thirteen years after the death of your father Kopres the half share belonging to you of 2 arouras of grain land near the village of Karanis, held in common with me for the remaining half share, lying west of the olive grove of Harpalos, without rent in return for the public taxes and annona levies paid on them, and since you too wish to hold and cultivate them for the same equal period, I hereby make over to you the cession of the cultivation, from the present year 2 for an equal period of thirteen years, of the half share of the 2 arouras that falls to me, without rent, just as I too cultivated it, you however paying the public taxes and the annona levies each year; and when the period is completed, each party of us is to have control and ownership of the 1 aroura falling to it and to sell and lease it as it chooses. And having been asked the formal question, I agreed. Year 2 of our lord Domitianus Augustus, Hathyr 24. I, Aurelius Chairemon son of Ptolemaios, have made the cession of the half share falling to me, as stated above.
