The thirteenth year [of Tiberius Caesar Augustus], the eighteenth [of the month of (Neos?) Sebastos], in Tebtynis [in the division of Polemon of the Arsinoite] nome. Haryotes, son of Haryotes, about [. . . years old, with a scar] on his forehead on the left side, has leased to Paopis, son of Orseus, about [. . . years old, with a scar on] the first finger of his left hand, and to [his] son, [Orseus, about . . . years old], with a scar on his forehead on the left side, and to Semenis, [son of Haryotes, about . . . years old, with a scar] on his forehead on the left side, the three being Persians of the [epigone and mutual sureties] for the repayment, the catoecic [allotment] that belongs [to him near Tebtynis] of twenty-six arourai, or as many as there [may be, for the present] thirteenth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, [for sowing with wheat and barley], <at a rental> of one hundred and five artabai of wheat [and . . . artabai of barley], pure and unadulterated, all measured by the [four-choinix] measure [of . . .]. They shall pay them in the month Pauni [of the present year in Tebtynis], the lessees [. . .] the wages [. . .]. The lessor [shall furnish] to the lessees [sixteen artabai of wheat] and ten artabai of barley as seed, and [the services] of oxen, [and at the expiration of the period] the lessees shall return the allotment [free from rushes], reeds, coarse grass, dirt of every kind, [the Egyptian reed on it to be cut. Haryotes and his heirs] shall have the right of execution upon the lessees and upon [all their property] and the gratuity of [one] artabe of baked bread [. . .] as if in accordance with a legal judgment, [the lease] being guaranteed [by] Haryotes on the aforesaid conditions [from public charges and every] impost, and he shall have no power to transfer the lease or [to work] the land himself [for the aforesaid time]. The signatories for the lessees are [. . . son of Lysimachos, about . . . years old], with a scar on his forehead on the left side, and for Haryotes, [. . . son of . . ., about . . . years old], with a scar in the middle of his forehead.
(2nd hand) We, Paopis, son of Orseus, [and my son], Orseus, and Semenis, son of Haryotes, [Persians of the] epigone, have leased from Haryotes, [son of Haryotes], as aforesaid. [. . .], son of Lysimachos, wrote [for them] because Orseus writes [slowly] and the others are illiterate.

(4th hand) [I, Haryotes, son of Haryotes], have made the lease as aforesaid. [. . ., son of . . .], wrote for him, [because he is] illiterate.
(5th hand) The 13th year of Tiberius Caesar [Augustus], the 18th of [(Neos?)] Sebastos. Registered through Kronion, [succeeding to the office] of his late father, [Apion . . .] nomographos of Tebtynis and the other [villages].
(Verso)
