The last lines of a land lease from the village of Tenis in the Hermopolite nome, dated 29 September 106 BC. Only Dionysios's statement of consent, the date and a registration note by Theon survive.
The double regnal year (year 12, also year 9) reflects the joint reign of Cleopatra III and Ptolemy X. The identification as a land lease comes from the catalogue, since the body of the contract is lost.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Louage de terres). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
