Opening of a lease offer in which Ptolemaios son of Mysthes proposes to lease from the soldier Julius Apollinarius the date-palm harvest of the seventeenth regnal year, gathered in the eighteenth year. It comes from the Arsinoite nome, probably AD 154-155.

In English machine translation

To Julius Apollinarius, soldier, from Ptolemaios son of Mysthes. I wish to lease from you the date crops of the past seventeenth year, falling due in the eighteenth year, for the past seventeenth year only [...] [...] year [...] [...]

The seventeenth and eighteenth years probably refer to the reign of Antoninus Pius, which fits the proposed date. The rest of the offer, with the rent and terms, is lost.
