The land in question was owned by Dionysia, daughter of Chaeremon. Her guardian in the deal was her son Apion, also called Dionysius. Together, they agree to lease 38 arourae of land to Psenamounis, son of Thonis and Seoëris, for six years. Psenamounis had leased the land for the previous six years. The lease explicitly gives him the right to grow any crops he chooses for the first five years of the lease, with the exception of woad and coriander (?). In the last year of the lease he is required to grow the same crops that he was required to grow under the terms of his previous lease. The rent was 190 artabae of wheat and 12 drachmae per year.
