Opening of a lease contract from Oxyrhynchus, dated by the consuls of AD 331. Aurelius Aion offers to lease property, apparently in the city, from Aurelius Herakleides, acting through his friend Agathinos, a former gymnasiarch and town councillor.

In English machine translation

In the consulship of Iunius Bassus and Flavius Ablabius, the most illustrious prefects […] To Aurelius Herakleides […] through […] Agathinos, friend, former gymnasiarch, councillor of the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, from Aurelius Aion […] from the same city. I voluntarily undertake to lease for a period of […] from the first of the month […] of the current 25th year and 15th year and 7th year […] in the same city […]

The regnal years 25, 15 and 7 refer to Constantine and his sons as co-emperors. What was leased is lost, though the phrase 'in the same city' suggests urban property such as a house or room.
