Fragment of a lease of dwellings (half shares of buildings) at the Great and Small Farmsteads, apparently made with a member of the governor's staff of Arcadia, partly belonging to the heirs of the late Olympios. The lease runs from 1 Thoth of the eleventh indiction, at a yearly rent in gold solidi. Written in the Arsinoite nome in AD 592.

Taxis here refers to the governor's administrative staff (officium) of the province of Arcadia. The rent figure is partly lost; 'half and quarter' of a solidus survives, possibly following a lost whole number.
