A fragmentary land register or survey from Memphis, listing sown and unsown plots of land with the names of holders or cultivators (Heras, Asklepiades, Aurelius Apol[…]) over successive years. It mentions leased sown land and neighbouring boundaries, and is dated by reference to a Flavius Decimus.

In English machine translation

[…] in the […] year […] of Flavius Decimus […] […] sown land of Heras 1/2 aroura; unsown, the remaining […] […] as follows: Asklepiades […] […] unsown, the remaining; and in the 3rd year by […] […] and in the 4th year by Aurelius Apol[…] […] collected (?) of the leased sown land […] […] collected (?); total: on the south, next […] […] vegetables (?) […] […] around the village […] […] next […] 29 […] […] after which, next […] […]

Flavius Decimus is probably a consul or official used in the dating formula, which would place the text in the 4th century AD. The repeated abbreviation read as 'next' (hexes) introduces successive plots or boundaries, and several abbreviations are uncertain.
