Fragmentary offer to lease land, addressed by Aurelius Herodes and Aurelius Didymos to the landowner Aurelius Adelphios son of Adelphios of Hermopolis, for the second indiction. The rent seems to involve olyra, a kind of grain, payable on mutual security. It dates to the end of AD 313.
Olyra is a husked grain, usually taken as emmer. The two lessees offer to be jointly liable (allelengye) for the rent.
