A fragmentary account on the verso of a papyrus from the Arsinoite nome, listing sums of money in drachmas, obols and chalkoi together with an area of land in arouras. The surviving words are too damaged to show what the payments were for.

The land figure is written as a string of fractions of an aroura (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/32, 1/64), a typical Egyptian way of expressing land measurements. The verbal lines at the end are largely illegible, though one may contain a form connected with barley or with being judged.
