Lease of a room in a house at Hermopolis, in which a woman, daughter of Solomon, rents a bedroom with shared use of the gateway and courtyard from a noble woman for as long as the owner wishes. It was drawn up in the 26th year of Heraclius, in Hathyr of the ninth indiction (AD 635).

In English machine translation

[In the name of] the holy and life-giving [and consubstantial] Trinity, Father and Son and [Holy Spirit], in the reign of [our] most divine [masters Fl]avii Heraclius and Heraclius [the Younger Constanti]ne, the eternal Augusti [and Emperors, year] twenty-six, Hathyr […], [ninth indiction, at] Hermopolis in the Thebaid. To [so-and-so] […], the most noble [daughter of the] late […], [from the same] Hermopolis, [so-and-so] […], daughter of Solomon, […] from the same city. [I acknowledge that I have willingly] and voluntarily [leased from] you for whatever period you wish, [counting from the new] moon of the [month] Mesore [of the present] ninth indiction, […] one bedroom […] [with] the proportionate share […] [and of the] gateway and the [courtyard (?) with every] right, from [a house situated in] the same Hermopolis […] for use […] [… 12 lines lost …] […]

The lease runs from Mesore, before the contract date, so the tenant was apparently already in occupation. Lease 'for as long as you wish' means the landlady could end it at will.
