The surviving closing lines of a land lease, in which the lessee acknowledges having taken the lease and promises to abide by its terms. It was drawn up at the village of Tenis in the Hermopolite nome on 24 June 110 BC, written through a certain Apollonios.
Only the lessee's subscription survives; the body of the lease on the front and the text on the back are lost. The phrase "of the men of Ptolemaios" probably belongs to the description of a military unit or group to which the lessee belonged.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
