LEASEInv. 38 rectoField No. XXIgGlass Plate 140Plate CXLII8 x ca. 90 cmtop margin at least 6 cm Petra 6th c.?Of this inventory number, the α-series, written on both sides, offers the middle of the lines from 16 layers without counterlayers. The β-series, where only a few commonplace words can be read, does not seem to belong in the same document. As we do not know the folds’ original height, we cannot establish how many lines are missing between them. Hence, we have given line numbers merely for the lines which offer at least traces of letters. The fragments of the verso with readable words are published in Single Words.The agreement on the recto, written transversa charta across the fibers, seems to have a top margin. Thewords ἔκλημψιϲ (l. 6), τόποϲ (l. 10), and ὅροϲ (l. 8) suggest that it was a lease agreement. The hand of the scribe is an accustomed capital, rather similar to that of 2. Two names, Flavius Patrikios and Dorotheos, son of Monaxios, have been preserved. The fragments are too meager to identify the persons, so they do not offer any support for the dating. One Dorotheos appears frequently in 2, where it was inferred that his father was Diphilos. Patrikios, son of Diphilos, is attested in 3, 5, 35–36, and 67. On the other hand, a Monaxios is known as the father of Ailianos and Nikias in 22, 37, and 45–47, while Patrikios, son of Ailianos, was somehow involved with them (for his person, see Introductions to 45–47 and 50). ↑1 ]τ̣ου καὶ δ̣[  α2 2  c. 1 line ] ἔ̣του̣[ϲ . . . year . . . α2 3 + α1 3 μη]νὸϲ Ἀρτεμε[ϲίου . . . of the month Artemisios . . .  c. 1 line4 Τρίτηϲ Παλαιϲτί]νηϲ Ϲ[α]λ̣[ου]τ̣α̣[ρίαϲ . . . of the Third Palestine Salutaris . . . α2 4 + α1 4 τῆϲ ἐκλή]μ̣ψεωϲ γρ[  . . . the lease . . .  c. 1 line ? ἀγνωμοϲύ]νηϲ καὶ χλεύηϲ [ . . .

The letters do not fit theusual imperial dating formula, βαϲιλείαϲ τοῦ θειοτάτου καὶ εὐϲεβεϲτάτου ἡμῶν δεϲπότου, because the letter after καί must be delta. A Christian opening formula, ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ κυ]ρ̣ίου καὶ δ̣[εϲπότου Ἰηϲοῦ Χριϲτοῦ, is not encountered in the Petra documents and only became common in Egypt in the 590s.5 [τῆϲ ἐκλή]μ̣ψεωϲ γρ[: after the date and place, the nature of the document was given.

In Egypt (especially in Antinoopolis), ἀγνωμοϲύνη was a common part of the formula.
