In English machine translation

[recto] [… 22 lines lost …] […] of the men of Ptolemaios(?), I have leased and I will act according to what is written above. Year 7, Pauni 8, in the village of Tenis of the Mochites (toparchy). Through Apollonios. [verso] [… 13 lines lost …]

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.
