It explains that the register was compiled from the previous year's register and later additions.

The Idios Logos was a Roman financial department handling irregular revenues such as confiscated and ownerless property. The word rendered 'register' (homologon) denotes an agreed or reconciled account; much of the text's syntax depends on restorations.
