A badly damaged document in which a group of Aurelii, Egyptian farmers who stand surety for one another, list plots of land in arouras and the corresponding amounts of wheat in artabas, totalling 312 artabas. It is dated to year 4 of an emperor named Marcus Aurelius, in Hathyr, and ends with receipts acknowledging the wheat measured.

The amounts are mostly about one artaba of wheat per aroura, suggesting a rent or land-due arrangement. The emperor's full name is lost; the epithets Pius Felix suggest Caracalla or a later emperor of the third century AD.
