A rent receipt from Sextia Thaisarion and a second sibling, children of Sextus Priscus, acting through their manager Neilos, to the tenant farmer Petsiris son of Petesouchos. It acknowledges 20 artabas of wheat as rent for year 22 of Antoninus Pius for 4 arouras near Karanis, with the tenant keeping the seed for the next year.

In English machine translation

Sextia Thaisarion and S[…]nias […], both (daughters?) of Sextus Priscus, through the manager Neilos son of Asklepiades, from the village of Karanis, to Petsiris son of Petesouchos, greeting. I have received from you the rent of the 22nd year of Antoninus Caesar the lord, 20 artabas of wheat, you having the seed for the coming 23rd year, for the 4 arouras which you farm for me near Karanis, out of […] arouras […] jointly, and I make no claim against you […] Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Aelius Hadrianus Antoninus Pius.

The name of the second lessor is damaged; 'both' (amphoteroi) is masculine, so the second person may be a brother. The phrase about seed means the tenant retains the seed grain for sowing the next year's crop.
