Fragment of a lease in which Aurelius […]os son of Hermaos takes land on lease for pasturing livestock, paying rent in gold solidi and one artaba of wheat. The land is described by its boundaries, including arouras of the heirs of Ioannes son of Makarios, and the text ends with the lessee's subscription and a witness statement. Sixth century AD, from the Aphrodito archive.
