Opening of an offer to lease, addressed by a woman from Seneus in the Lykopolite nome to Aurelius Flavius also called Herakleides, gymnasiarch of Memphis, to rent property from him for three years starting in Choiak. The docket on the back identifies it as the lease of a house.

In English machine translation

[recto] To Aurelius Flavius also called Herakleides, gymnasiarch of the city of the Memphites, from Noelia (?) Lykariaine (?), daughter of Apollonios, from Seneus in the Lykopolite nome. I wish to lease from you for three years from the month of Choiak of the present […] […] [verso] Lease of a house […] […] of the description (?) […]

The text breaks off after the opening of the lease offer, so the terms are lost. The word eikonismos usually means a physical description of a person, but its sense in the fragmentary docket is unclear.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
