- And I shall perform all the yearly farm labors which are proper, each at the necessary time at my own expense without damage to the property. And I shall deliver in the month Pauni in the village the annual rental in grain, new, clean, without blemish, and free from barley. And after the expiration of the lease I shall hand over the arourai free from rushes, reeds, coarse grass and all rubbish, with one half lying fallow in grass and the other half after the stubble harvest. The transport charges for moving grain shall rest upon me, Horos, if the lease is approved on the aforesaid terms.
