. .] of Dionysios [, son of N .N] from the town of Oxyrhynchos. I have voluntarily leased for two years from the present 19th year of our rulers for fishing [ ] and from others the waters round Tholthis of the middle-toparchy, while seventy-seven silver drachmas have been agreed on as a part of the rent and while also two jars of thrissa and six jars of garum have been agreed on.
