A rent receipt issued by Aurelius Kopres, an estate manager, to Aurelius Sotas for a storeroom on the estate of Marempis. It acknowledges two payments of 20 silver drachmas each, for parts of years 2 and 3. It comes from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

[1] Aurelius Kopres, manager (phrontistes), to Aurelius Sotas, from the Island (Nesos), greetings. I have received from you the rent of the storeroom (kella) which you hold on the estate of Marempis, for the period from Phamenoth to Mesore of year 2, 20 drachmas of silver. Likewise the same, for the period from Thoth to Mecheir of year 3, on account, 20 drachmas of silver.

A phrontistes was the manager of a private estate. "Nesiotes" probably marks Sotas as a resident of Soknopaiou Nesos ("the Island") rather than being a personal name.
