Offer by Victor to lease vineyard land from a numerarius of the Moors TM 37281Hermopolites

Fragmentary lease offer from the Hermopolite nome, in which a man named Victor proposes to lease vineyard land from a numerarius (financial officer) of the regiment of Moors stationed at Hermopolis. The surviving lines mention the fifth indiction, the use of the lessee's own oxen, and a division of the produce or work into halves, some of it at the vinedresser's charge.

In English machine translation

The Moors (Mauri) were a Late Roman military unit garrisoned at Hermopolis; a numerarius was the unit's accounting officer. Much of the lease formula is restored from parallels.
