Beginning of a lease from Tholthis TM 2681Tholthis (Oxyrhynchites)213 - 212 v.Chr.

Opening of a lease contract drawn up at Tholthis in the Oxyrhynchite nome in the 10th year of Ptolemy IV Philopator (213-212 BC). Only the dating formula with the eponymous priests and the beginning of the lease clause survive; the parties and object are lost.

In English machine translation

The dating uses the Macedonian month Panemos and names the eponymous priest of Alexander and the deified Ptolemies and the basket-bearer (kanephoros) of Arsinoe Philadelphos. The phrase 'for one year, ten months' is cut off, so the exact lease term is uncertain.
