Fragment of the end of a land lease in which the lessee undertakes to deliver rent in vegetable seed, another crop and wheat chaff in the month of Epeiph, at the threshing floors of the village, to the lessor's house. It closes with the validity clause, the lessee's subscription written for him by someone else because he was illiterate, and the notary Sarapion's completion note; probably 5th century AD, Hermopolite nome.

The beginning, with the parties' names and the land leased, is lost. The kind of produce in the clause about new, clean, sieved crops is restored by the editor.
