Offer to lease property of orphans, addressed to the exegetes TM 21115Hermopolitesca. 78

Fragmentary offer to lease, addressed by Dioskoros to Hermaios son of Apollonios, exegetes of the Hermopolite nome, concerning property left by deceased persons to their two orphaned children. It dates to around AD 78 under Vespasian, and the docket on the back records that the offer was outbid.

In English machine translation

The exegetes, a city magistrate, supervised the leasing of orphans' property, apparently by auction; the verso note 'outbid' suggests a higher offer replaced this one. Much of the address and lease terms is restored.
