To Stotoetis and Pakysis, both sons of Apynchis son of Stotoetis, from Herakleides son of Horion, also called Papeirios, son of Herakleides, registered in the quarter of Pha… (?), a Persian of the Epigone. I wish to lease from you for the present thirteenth year only of Antoninus Caesar the lord, out of what you yourselves happen to hold on lease from the people of the village of Soknopaiou Nesos, 7 arouras of public land, or however many they may be, in one parcel near Bakchias, at a total rent for the whole of 14 artabas of wheat, without seed, by the six-choinix measure, apart from which I shall also carry out all the farming work that is fitting at my own expense, sowing 5 arouras with wheat and the remaining 2 arouras on the south with fallow crops; and I shall pay you the 14 artabas of wheat rent at the threshing floor of the plots, the cost of donkey transport as far as Hiera being my responsibility, while all dues on them of every kind shall be the responsibility of you, Stotoetis and his brother, if you agree to lease. The neighbours of the 7 arouras being leased: on the south, land that Ptollas son of Satabous holds on lease; on the north, sown plots of Aleinos; on the west, a field road; on the east, a canal.
