Year 15, Phaophi 13, at Pathyris, before Hermias, the deputy of Paniskos the agoranomos.
Kollouthes son of Phageris, Persian of the epigone, acknowledges to Horos son of Nechouthes, Persian, that he renounces and will not proceed against the mainland grain-bearing land belonging to him in the plain around Pathyris, 3 arouras out of 7 arouras, together with the adjoining chalasma, in two parcels, of which the neighbours are: of the one, on the south the land of Patephis, on the north the land of Pakoibis through the sons of Phibis, on the east the royal road, on the west the land of Psemmonthes son of Panechates and his partners; of the other, on the south the land of Pakoibis, on the north the land of Tathotis, on the east the royal road, on the west the land of Poregebthis and Paos; or whoever may be the neighbours of the two parcels; for which the sale of renunciation was completed in year 14, Phaophi 10, for the remaining unsold 3 arouras of land belonging to me; and that neither Kollouthes himself nor anyone else on his behalf will proceed against Horos or against anyone of his people concerning the 3 arouras. Otherwise, the proceeding of the one who proceeds shall be invalid, and the one who proceeds shall further pay a penalty immediately of 6 talents of bronze and to the sovereigns as sacred dues 120 drachmas of coined silver, and none the less he shall be bound to act according to what is written above.
I, Hermias, deputy of Paniskos, have registered it.

Agreement of Horos son of Nechouthes from Kollouthes son of Phageris, 3 arouras of land.
"Persian of the epigone" is a legal status designation of the Ptolemaic period rather than an ethnic label. The chalasma is land exposed by the receding flood, adjoining the parcel.
