Fragmentary offer of sublease in which Kronion son of Pakebkis, an elder of Tebtynis, asks a woman acting with her brother as guardian to sublet to him for six years about four arouras of land she herself holds on lease in the so-called Forty-Aroura holding near Tebtynis. The first, third and fifth years were apparently to be sown with hay; the lease ran from the third year of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus.
The text is a sublease: the lessor herself holds the land on lease. According to the catalogue the document survives in a duplicate copy.
