[recto] To Hermaios son of Apollonios, of the Philoklaudian tribe and the Althaean deme, exegetes of the Hermopolite nome, from Hermias son of Hermias, of Hermopolis. I wish to lease for five years from the present tenth year of Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus the lands and property left by my deceased sister Didyme daughter of Hermias to her two orphaned children Hermophilos and Salion, both sons of Areios, and whatever else of theirs I may discover in any way whatsoever, at a rent of 260 silver drachmas a year, apart from the regular public dues, which I will also pay each year without fail in the month of Phaophi to whomever you, the exegetes, may instruct. If any land becomes unflooded, an allowance will be made to me in proportion to the rent. If any other charges are exacted apart from the regular public dues, an allowance will likewise be made to me. If a higher offer is made, you may re-lease to others. If, then, it seems good to you, lease to me on these terms. Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, Phamenoth 7. [verso] Lease of Hermias son of Hermias […]
