Subscriptions to a lease in which Stotouetis son of Kollouthos rents 12 arouras of farmland in one parcel for four years from Apollonia daughter of Herakleides, who acts with her father as guardian. Both parties were illiterate and others signed for them. The document comes from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome, about AD 30.

In English machine translation

From the glued sheet (?) I, Stotouetis son of Kollouthos son of Elekis, Persian of the epigone, have leased from Apollonia daughter of Herakleides the aforementioned 12 arouras, or however many they may be, in one parcel, for the aforementioned 4 years, on all the aforementioned terms, and I will do each thing, apart from the other things that I owe, as stated above. Marepsemis son of Marepsemis, lesonis, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. I, Apollonia daughter of Herakleides, with my father as my guardian, have leased as stated above. And I (her father) have written on her behalf, since she does not know letters.

The opening note 'from the kollema' seems to mean the contract's body was to be copied from the full text in the office's glued archive roll, so only the subscriptions are written out here. A lesonis was an Egyptian temple administrator; 'Persian of the epigone' is a legal status designation.
