Opening of a written offer to lease land, in which Aurelius Eudaimon, a villager of the Hermopolite nome, proposes to lease 15 arouras in the tax district of Psychis from Aurelius Adelphios, gymnasiarch and councillor of Hermopolis, for the crops of the 9th indiction. It was written in Hermopolis at the end of AD 320.
The consular formula is largely restored. The rent, the length of the lease and the remaining terms are lost. The aroura is an Egyptian land measure of about 0.68 acres.
