In English machine translation

The Aurelii Kallaias son of Horigenes and Petros son of Diogenes, both from Herakleopolis, to Aurelius Diogenes son of Heraklammon, from the same city, greetings. We have leased from you, on mutual security, from the land belonging to you around the village of Sobtis Mikra, around the estate (?), 8 arouras; at Sakapry 2 arouras, another 3 arouras in the same place; and around Ninopaka 3 arouras, south of the sluice 2 arouras; around Noeris 4 arouras, west of the road 1/2 aroura; total 22 1/2 arouras, to sow with whatever crops we wish, for a half share of all the produce that results, for the sowing of the new 14th indiction, you the landowner making the advance of the seed […] and all the public charges on the land being borne by you the landowner […] […]

The lessees bind themselves jointly (literally 'on mutual security'), each liable for the whole. The listed plots add to 22 1/2 arouras as the text states; the end of the document is lost.
