Small fragment of an offer to renew a lease, mentioning advance payments in artabas of wheat and the rent stated earlier in the document. It dates to AD 113-117, probably from Hermopolis.

In English machine translation

[… 1 line lost …] […] the advance payments being at the rate of […] artabas of wheat […] [… 1 line lost …] […] at the aforementioned rent. [… 2 lines lost …] […] I have submitted (this), and as stated above.

The term translated "rent" (ekphorion) refers to rent paid in kind, usually grain. The identification as a lease renewal offer rests on the surviving formulas.
