A fragmentary register, probably for taxation, listing men by name, father's and mother's names, sometimes age and occupation, followed by lists of drachma payments. The verso records numbers of men and monthly payments for Phamenoth, Pharmouthi and Pachon collected through agents named Aphrodisios and Deios.

The listing of men with mother's names and ages suggests a poll-tax or similar register. Provenance is unknown; the word read as Hadrian on the verso may refer to a district or the emperor.
