Fragmentary description of an offer to lease royal land at Oxyrhynchos, AD 134-135. Only key phrases survive: part of an allotment, partly unflooded, to be used for fodder grass for cutting and summer pasture, with mention of public dues.
In English machine translation
[… 27 lines lost …]
I undertake to lease
royal land
allotment (kleros)
in part unflooded
for grass, for cutting and summer grazing
public dues
The surviving words appear to be key terms from a lease offer rather than continuous text. 'Unflooded' (abrochos) means land the Nile flood did not reach that year, which affected rent and tax.
