An official notice from Herakleides son of Ammonios, tax farmer for catoecic land registrations, to the recorder of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. It reports that Gaius Apollinarius Niger of Antinoopolis, acting through Valerius Saturnilus, has had registered in his name 5/8 aroura of catoecic grain land formerly held by Heron son of Pekmeis. Dated 1 June 179 AD.
Catoecic land was land originally allotted to settlers of Greek status; transfers had to be registered and taxed. The land appears to have been taken over by the state and sold at auction, confirmed in year 16.
