It dates from the 2nd or 3rd century AD, from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

A cession (parachoresis) was the legal form used to transfer catoecic land, functioning in effect as a sale. The penalty clause sets repayment of the price plus half, with an equal fine to the treasury.
