Translation
[The tenth year] of the Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, [the 21st of the month Kaisareios], in Karanis in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Pnepheros, about thirty-five years old, with a scar on the under side of his left forearm, [and Psenobastis, about] thirty-three [years] old, with a scar on his right forearm, both sons of Satabous, [acknowledge to each other] that they have divided [between themselves from the present time] forever the cultivation of the nine and one-half and one-eighth and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth arourai [of royal land] which they cultivate near Patsontis and the two and one-half [arourai of the Anthian estate] which they are farming. Pnepheros has received as [his] allotted [share] three and one-half arourai of the [royal] land and the [two and one-half] arourai of the Anthian estate, [of which] two arourai [are in the] Strategikon and at the entrance the [two and one-half arourai] of the Anthian [estate], and half an aroura is in Tatnouei adjoining the property of Kastor, son of Phanomgeus, and one-half and one-quarter [of an aroura are in the Geeina], and one-quarter of an aroura is in the Fifty [held in common and undivided with] Apion, son of Phasis. Psenobastis has received as his allotted [share] six and one-eighth and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth arourai [of royal land], of which one and one-quarter arourai [are in the Hollow of the Cavalry], and [three] arourai are in the Fifty, and [one] aroura [is close by the new dyke], and one-half and one-quarter and [one-eighth and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth] arourai are in Tatnouei. And they will pay the annual rental and transportation charges [and the other obligations] and receive the seed corn of the arourai which each has been allotted and they will pay [whatever further] charges have been laid on the cultivation, both equally. The one who breaks the contract shall pay to the one who abides or will abide by it [the damages and expenses two-fold] and an additional fine of one-hundred drachmai of silver and [a like amount] into [the treasury]; and the aforesaid terms of the contract shall [none] the less remain [valid as aforesaid. The signatory] of Pnepheros is Heron, son of Satyros, about thirty-seven years old, with a scar in the middle of his forehead.
(2nd hand) [I, Pnepheros, son of Satabous], acknowledge that I have divided with my brother Psenobastis [from the present time] forever the cultivation of the [nine and one-half and one-eighth] and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth [arourai of royal land] which we cultivate near Patsontis and of the [two and one-half arourai] of the Anthian estate, and that I [have received] as my allotted share [three and one-half] arourai of royal land and [two and one-half arourai of the Anthian estate], of which two arourai are in the Strategikon and at the entrance [the two and one-half arourai of the Anthian estate], one-half aroura is in Tatnouei bordering on the property of Kastor, [son of Phanomgeus], one-half and one-quarter [arourai are in the Geeina], and one-quarter aroura is in the Fifty [held in common and undivided with Apion], son of Phasis. And I shall pay the rental and transportation charges and the other [obligations] and shall receive the seed for the property allotted to me; and if any further charge is laid on the estate(?) . . ., [I shall pay] half the rent and other charges, as aforesaid. [I, Heron, son of Satyros], wrote for him because he is illiterate.
(3rd hand) I, Psenobastis, son of Satabous, acknowledge that I have divided with [my brother] Pnepheros from the present time forever the cultivation of the nine and one-half and one-eighth and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth arourai of royal land which we cultivate near Patsontis and of the two and one-half arourai of the Anthian estate, and I have been allotted [six] and one-eighth and one-sixteenth and one-sixty-fourth [arourai of the royal land], of which one and one-quarter arourai are in the [Hollow of the Cavalry], three arourai are in the Fifty, one aroura is by the [new dyke], and one-half and one-quarter and one-eighth and one-sixteenth and [one-sixty-fourth] arourai are in Tatnouei, as aforesaid. Esouris, son of Esouris(?), wrote for him because he is illiterate.
