Fragment of a land register summarising categories of land at Aphroditopolis and Phthla, listing public land by rent rate per aroura, cleruchic and purchased land, date-palm and olive groves with dovecotes, and a division into eastern and western plains. It dates probably to AD 117-118 and is likely from Hermopolis.
