Fragmentary record, probably from a property registry, listing family holdings, mortgages and purchases (katoikic land, a palm grove near Psinachis, a slave woman Herais) with dates reaching back from Nerva to Commodus. It is dated to Pharmouthi of year 5 of Septimius Severus (AD 198), probably at Oxyrhynchus.

The entries resemble excerpts from the property record office (bibliotheke enkteseon), citing earlier registrations. Katoikic land was allotment land originally held by military settlers.
