Fragment of a grain account recording totals of wheat and barley owed and collected, distinguishing estate land (ousiai), including the estates of Titus, from other land, with arrears carried into Thoth and collections by four- and eight-month accounting periods. It dates to the first regnal year of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, AD 161, from the Mendesian region.

Ousiai were large estates, often originally belonging to members of the imperial circle, later administered by the state. Several figures are damaged; the readings of the myriad totals are uncertain.
