Fragment of a land register listing cultivators, the parcels they farm in named plains and basins, the area sown with barley or wheat, and the dues in kind owed at 3 artabas per aroura. Some land is registered in the name of other owners, such as Artemidoros son of Theon and Nemesiaine daughter of Theodoros. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome in the 5th century AD.
