End of a contract (lease?) dated by Aurelian and Vaballathus TM 20093Herakleopolis11. März 272

The closing portion of a contract, probably a lease, from Herakleopolis, dated 11 March 272 by the joint regnal years of the emperor Aurelian and Vaballathus of Palmyra. Only the dating formula, part of a name (Aurelius … Chairemon) and a subscription phrase survive.

In English machine translation

The double dating reflects the period of Palmyrene control of Egypt, when Vaballathus' years were counted alongside Aurelian's. The verb 'I have leased' is largely restored, so the contract type is uncertain.
