In this document the cultivation of property is agreed giving the extent of the property in question. The area to be cultivated borders on that of Saint Philotheos. The owner of the land is a deacon quite possibly from the same institution dedicated to Philotheos.

‘… to the south up to the end of my boundary (with) these which belong to saint Philotheos.’
