Fragment of a lease offer in which the prospective tenant undertakes to rent a vineyard from its owners for two years at 120 drachmas per aroura per year, paid in Hathyr. He will bear all expenses, keep the produce, use the farm's water sources, and return the vineyard after the harvest and the land clean at the end of the term.

In English machine translation

[…] […] of the lords (owners), a rent each year for each aroura of 120 drachmas, on condition that I may use the vineyard as I wish for the two years; and I shall pay the rent annually in the month of Hathyr without delay, and […] the existing […] winepresses of Claudius D[…], returning […] according to custom […] as many as are given in the former estate (apostasis) of Saturninus, making all expenditure for myself from my own resources, while I carry off for my own all the produce from them, first paying the rents as stated above; and after the term I shall hand over the vineyard in whatever condition it is after the harvest, and I shall use the water sources of the farm without hindrance, and I shall hand over the land clean of […] […]

The beginning and end of the document are lost, so the parties and date are unknown. 'Apostasis' here seems to denote an estate or holding formerly belonging to Saturninus.
