In English machine translation

To Taarmiysis daughter of […]os […], sister […], from Heron son of […] son of Marreis, from the village of Tebtynis. I wish to lease from you for four years from […] of the month of Epeiph of the present twenty-second year of Hadrian Caesar the lord the half share belonging to you of a house and courtyard and open court in the aforementioned village of Tebtynis, formerly […]ouphis […], at a rent for the whole of the leased half share of 20 silver drachmas a year, which I will pay you each year in […]; and after the period I will hand it back to you with the doors and keys in place (?) and free of all filth, if you agree to lease. Taarmiysis, about 62 years old, scar on the middle of the nose, through […]ouphis, about 58 years old […]. Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Traianus Hadrianus Augustus, Pauni 18.

The descriptions of Taarmiysis and her representative, with age and distinguishing scar, identify the lessor acting through a guardian or agent. The word ἐφαιστώσαις is obscure; 'in place' is a guess.
