Fragmentary lease in which Georgios son of Pheib rents a property or share of a building, opening to the east, for as long as the lessor wishes, starting from the beginning of Pauni in the 15th indiction, at a yearly rent of 8 gold carats. The contract was drawn up by the notary Kallinikos in the Arsinoite nome in AD 672.
The notary's completion is written partly in Latin script, a common feature of late Byzantine and early Arab-period contracts. The carat (keration) was a small fraction of the gold solidus.
