- The nineteenth year of the Emperor Caesar Nerva Trajan Optimus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus Parthicus, 4th intercalary day of the month Kaisareios, in Karanis in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Pnepheros, son of Satabous, about forty-three years old, with a scar on the under side of his left forearm, and Ptolemaios, son of Phanomgeus, about twenty-six years old, with a scar on the third finger of his left hand, acknowledge to each other that they have divided between themselves from the present time forever the cultivation of the land which they are farming near Patsontis, ten and one-eighth and one-thirty-second and one-sixty-fourth arourai of royal land, and from the Anthian estate two and a half arourai, and near Karanis one and one-sixteenth arourai of royal land, up to the total number of arourai as many as there may be. And by this division which they have made with each other by lot by mutual consent Pnepheros has been allotted and has received as his share from the (arourai) near Patsontis six and one-eighth and one-thirty-second and one-sixty-fourth arourai in six parcels, of which three parcels, amounting to three arourai, are in the Pentekonta and one parcel of one and one-eighth and one-thirty-second and one-sixty-fourth arourai is in the Hollow of the Cavalry, and one aroura is close by the New Canal, and one aroura is in Tatnouei. And Ptolemaios (has received) as his allotted share four arourai of royal land near Patsontis in three parcels, of which the first is of [two and] one-quarter arourai in the Strategikon, the second is of one aroura in the Geeina, and the third is of one-half and one-quarter [arourai] in Tatnouis, and the two and one-half arourai of the Anthian estate . . .
