Fragment of a land account listing landholders by name with the areas they hold in arouras, followed by a total. A second total gives the figure according to a certain Alkippos, 100 arouras less. It comes from Philadelphia in the Fayum, mid 3rd century BC.
The aroura was the standard Egyptian land measure, about 0.68 acre. The final line records a divergent total of 708 3/4 1/16 arouras attributed to Alkippos, perhaps reflecting his own reckoning.
