A list of payments of grain in artabas made by landowners and villagers, recorded by name and grouped with subtotals, including entries for the village of Kerkeura. It comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome and was written before AD 258. Almost all the amounts are lost.
The 'geouchoi' (landowners) and 'kometai' (villagers, residents of the village) were taxed or assessed as separate groups. The date comes from the contract on the back, written under the prefect Mussius Aemilianus.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Payments of Corn). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
The contract on the verso, P.Oxy. XIV 1637, was written during the praefecture of Mussius Aemilianus. A list of payments in corn by geouchoi and cometai at Kerkeura and probably another village in the middle toparchy. The amounts are lost in nearly all cases.
