A fragmentary list of vineyard and orchard plots, giving their area in arouras and money amounts in drachmas, apparently charges assessed on the land. It names holders such as Agathos Daimon, Demetrios and a daughter of Thatres, and comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome in the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

The amounts are probably taxes or charges on vine and orchard land, which were assessed in money rather than grain. The phrase 'for the period granted' may refer to a tax concession or deferred payment.
