Four short land declarations addressed to surveyors of the Panopolite nome, two by Petearbeschinis and two by his wife Senpetechensis, registering sown private land in numbered plots near the village of Bompae and in the metropolis toparchy. They belong to the census of land at Panopolis in AD 302-303 and form part of the archive of the lawyer Ammon.
