An official order from Pyrrhos, the officer responsible for registering catoecic land allotments, to the syntaktikos of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. It concerns the transfer of small fractions of catoecic land involving Neilos son of Didymos, Ptolemaios son of Ptolemaios and others, and is dated 13 November AD 86.
Katoikoi were holders of hereditary military-settler (catoecic) land; the syntaktikos was a local official handling the registration. Several names and land fractions are damaged or restored.
