Fragment of an offer to lease 1 1/2 arouras of land near Psenarpsenesis, at a fixed yearly rent of 5 artabas of wheat paid in Pauni at the threshing floor. It comes from Karanis in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.
The beginning and end of the offer are lost, so the parties are unknown; the verso preserves only part of a name, perhaps Ptolemaios. The measure is the six-choinix measure of the official grain measurer of Karanis.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Offer to Lease). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
