A register of land, apparently arouras to be ploughed, drawn up under oath by farmers or village officials who promise to have the land furrowed and report to an official. It lists cultivators by name with their holdings and totals about 260 arouras. It comes from the Apollonopolite Heptakomias nome, year 2 of Hadrian (AD 117-118).
