The sixth year of the Emperor Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, on the twenty-sixth of the month Dystros, the twenty-sixth of Tybi, at Bacchias in the division of Herakleides of the Arsinoite nome.

And let the party of the first part see to it that no one prevents Hermas and his representatives from occupying the designated property, lodging others therein, collecting the rents, and using all its appurtenances without hindrance. And at the expiration of the period let the party of the first part repay the sixty drachmai of silver to Hermas, the right of execution resting with Hermas on the party of the first part and on all his property as if in accordance with a legal judgment. Signatory: for the party of the first part [. . ., son of . . ., . . .]; the other knows how to write.
(2nd hand) I, [. . ., son of . . .], Persian of the epigone, agree that I have received [from Hermas], son of Ptolemaios, sixty drachmai [of coined silver] forthwith from hand to hand out of the house, and that instead of the [interest on this sum I, the party of the first part, will agree] that Hermas and [his representatives and whomever] he wishes shall reside for one year [from the above-mentioned date] in the [twenty-seventh] share of roomed properties [and all appurtenances], which belongs to me [by inheritance from my father], held in common and undivided ownership [with Hermas and others], in the aforesaid village, and [I will guarantee the terms of the] contract of habitation with full guarantees [both for the time stipulated by the contract and] for whatever [time lodging] is necessary, and I will repay the [sixty drachmai] of silver [as stated above].
