Beginning of an offer to lease land, in which Aurelius Aion of the village of Philopator also called Theagenous proposes to rent 7 1/2 arouras of catoecic land from Aphrodisios also called Kyrillos for two years at a fixed rent in artabas of grain. It dates to the 2nd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite nome, perhaps Soknopaiou Nesos.
