To Asklepiades son of Asklepiades, from Kronion son of Cheos, of those from the village of Tebtynis. I happen to have leased from you, near Kerkesis, 12 1/2 arouras of a kleros and 12 1/2 arouras of ktamion, and having sown the 12 1/2 arouras of the kleros, 10 arouras with wheat and 2 1/2 arouras with flax, and having paid 80 silver drachmas for the ktamion, all in the present thirteenth year of Trajan Caesar the lord, since in Epeiph (?) a breach occurred in the adjoining embanked canal in the same present thirteenth year, through the negligence of Marion the sower, and the said arouras and the ktamion became waterlogged and have not been able to drain until now, I submit this memorandum to you, so that you may know that I have voluntarily withdrawn from the cultivation and from the works which I carried out from the present 13th year, having paid in full the rents in kind and money rents up to the past 12th year and for the 12th year itself, and that you are taking possession and re-leasing to others. Kronion, about 48 years old, scar on the third finger. Year thirteen of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Phamenoth 21.
