Fragmentary accounts of grain taxes in kind, recording wheat and barley paid on administration (state) land and temple land, with surcharges, additional measures and gratuities for the village scribe. The verso gives large wheat totals for the nome and a sum in silver; the accounts concern the Apollonopolite nome, AD 118-119.

Philanthropon is a customary gratuity paid in grain to officials, here the village scribe; 'dioikesis' refers to state (administration) land as opposed to temple land. The papyrus probably comes from the Apollonios archive found at Hermopolis, though it concerns the Apollonopolite nome.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Abrechnungen über Naturalsteuern des Apollonopolites). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
