A declaration by Kronion son of Kronion of Tebtynis to the landowner Peteeus son of Phomnaesis, voluntarily giving up his lease of 12 1/2 arouras near Kerkesis and allowing the owner to re-lease the land to others. It dates to AD 150-151 and comes from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome.

In English machine translation

To Peteeus son of Phomnaesis, from Kronion son of Kronion, grandson of Teos, from the village of Tebtynis. I hereby voluntarily and of my own free will withdraw from the cultivation, from the present year, of the 12 1/2 arouras belonging to you near the village of Kerkesis, formerly of the kleros of Asklepiades, and [...] 12 1/2 arouras, (which I had) sown with wheat and fodder crops, and you are to take hold of them and re-lease them to others from the present year. If it seems good, release me.

This is a duplicate copy of the document. The word read as '[k]tamia' before the second figure of 12 1/2 arouras is obscure, and the phrase 'sown with wheat and fodder' is grammatically loose in the Greek.
