Two rent receipts on one papyrus issued by Aurelia Ptolemas of the Phremi quarter of Arsinoe to her tenant farmer Aurelius Isidoros son of Ptolemaios, acknowledging payment in wheat for land near Karanis. Her son Serenos wrote for her because she was illiterate.
The main record dates the papyrus to 28 July 315 only, but the first receipt is dated 5 November 314. The horiodeiktia was the boundary-defined district of a village's land.
