A list of village officials of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum (elders, a chief of police, peace-keepers and guards) with sums of money in drachmas assigned to each, probably their property qualifications or liabilities. The verso notes it was extracted from the register of public accounts of year 9. Dated around AD 200.

The sums (800, 600, 300 drachmas) likely represent the declared property (poros) qualifying men for liturgical village offices. The archephodos and eirenophylakes were local police officials without exact English equivalents.
