Fragment of a grain account recording totals of wheat and barley in artabas, distinguishing grain from the estates of Titus from other grain, and noting arrears in other nomes. It runs up to Thoth of year 2 of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, i.e. late summer 161, and is assigned to Mendes.
The 'estates' (ousiai) were large landholdings, often originally belonging to members of the imperial circle, later administered as imperial property; 'Titus' presumably refers to such an estate's former owner. Many figures are restored and the fractions are approximate renderings of the Greek notation.
