Lease of land by the heirs of Psimanobet TM 36923Aphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)Mitte VI

Fragment of the end of a land lease from Aphrodito, mid-6th century AD. The lessees, heirs of Psimanobet son of Kyros, undertake payments in wheat, barley, cheeses and other produce, with mention of monasteries, transport by wagon and animals, and a penalty for breach; Flavius Dioskoros son of Apollos signs as witness.

In English machine translation

The witness Flavius Dioskoros son of Apollos is the well-known notary and poet of Aphrodito. The arrangement may be a sharecropping lease; the clause about 'remains of those who die' is obscure in its context.
