A certificate of work on the dykes (embankment corvée) from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome, issued in year 16 of Antoninus Pius (AD 152). It records that Kronion son of Kronion, grandson of Eutychos, whose mother was Omophonia, did his dyke work from Phaophi 11 to 15.

Villagers owed five days of compulsory labour each year on the irrigation dykes and embankments (chomatika), and received a certificate like this as proof. The illegible word in line 5 probably named the specific dyke or work site near Tebtynis.
