A fragmentary granary account concerning grain deliveries and shortfalls recorded by the sitologoi (grain collectors) of a toparchy in the Mendesian nome. It tallies wheat and barley in the granaries for the 14th and 15th years, separating amounts of the state administration account from the estate (ousiac) account and listing arrears and shortages.

Years 14 and 15 presumably refer to Hadrian's reign. The somatismos was a consolidated summary statement of granary accounts; the ousiac account covered grain from imperial estates.
