A fragmentary account calculating grain tax revenue in wheat, listing amounts in artabas from various categories of land (public, sacred) and supplementary levies such as the two-artaba and three-choinix charges. It probably comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome in the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

The diartabia (two-artaba levy) and trichoinikia (three-choinix levy) were supplementary charges on grain land. Readings of the fractions and of words like 'surplus' and 'small sums' are uncertain because of the damage.
