A receipt in which Artemidoros son of Demetrios acknowledges that his tenants Tesenouphis and Apynchis have paid the rent for an oil-press they lease from him for Nero's 3rd year. He reserves his rights regarding sums still owed for another oil-press. Written in the Arsinoite nome in AD 57.

In English machine translation

Artemidoros son of Demetrios to Tesenouphis and Apynchis, greetings. I have received from you the rent of the oil-press which you hold from me on lease, for the 3rd year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, without prejudice to me in any respect regarding what they owe on account of the assumption (?) of another oil-press. Year 4 of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, month Sebastos 9.

Sebastos is an honorific name for the month Thoth, so the 9th fell early in Nero's 4th year. The clause about 'another oil-press' is obscure; hypolempsis may refer to a further lease or claim.
