Lease offer by the six leaders of the five priestly tribes of the temple of Soknopaios to the miller Ammonaphis son of Papeis, granting him the god's mill at the settlement of Pisais near Herakleia for five years. The rent for the first five years is offset by his expenditure on the mill; from year 12 he owes 120 drachmas a year plus offerings in kind. Written in year 7 of the joint emperors, probably AD 166-167, likely at Soknopaiou Nesos.

Thallos refers to customary gifts of produce, here also offered to the temple leaders; the words read ωοιφια (probably eggs) and κοπτοραν (perhaps a mill implement) are uncertain. The 'lords Emperors' are presumably Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.
