[recto] [...] from the city of the Hermopolites, from Aurelius Banes son of Esaias, baker, from the village of Helios in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge that I have willingly and of my own choice leased from you for one year only the farm called 'of Lechios', of however many arouras it is. I am ready to irrigate (?) the same farm with my own animals, which are also fed by me, without dispute, without neglect and blamelessly. It has been agreed that I shall receive the fifth share of what is sown on the farm, that is 3 1/2 1/4 arouras, and 1 gold solidus less 6 carats. The lease is valid and secure, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Banes son of Esaias, the aforesaid, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Victor son of Anastasios, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. † I, Apollos son of Iakybios, deacon, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. † I, Aurelius Dioskoros son of Elias, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. † Through me, Victor, with God, notary.
