Fragment of a lease from the Hermopolite nome, AD 5th-6th century. The surviving lines list rent in kind, including chaff, olives and another item, which the lessee promises to measure out to the lessor each year without delay.

In English machine translation

[…] […] six (?) and of chaff […] […] one sixth of an artaba, and of olives […] of an artaba […] one, and of conch-shells (?) one double measure, which [rent] I will measure out to you each year without delay … […]

The word rendered "conch-shells" (konkylidia) is uncertain in meaning here and may refer to a type of shellfish, a legume or a measure. The word "rent" (phoros) is restored.

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