Fragmentary end of a lease in which two or more tenants, including a deacon and a son of Ioannes, agree to cultivate land for a term of years at a fixed rent of 2 solidi less 2 carats. The tenants' subscriptions and the note of the person who wrote for them because they were illiterate survive. The text comes from the Antaiopolite nome.
The fixed rent (apotaktos) is in gold coins (nomismatia, solidi) reckoned by the goldsmiths' standard, typical of Byzantine-period contracts. No date survives in the text or the records.
