Small fragment from the end of a document concerning land, perhaps a lease, mentioning a plot of eighty arouras. It dates to the 6th century AD and comes from Aphrodito in the Antaiopolite nome or possibly from the Hermopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[… 20 lines lost …] […] … of eighty arouras […] of the walk (?) into the other […] eighty Diastoleus (clerk)

The identification as a lease is tentative. The final word, diastoleus, is a clerk's title, probably a scribal or official subscription; peripatos, rendered 'walk', may denote a path or walkway on the property.

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