An assessment schedule setting out how various taxes and levies were charged on land by the aroura for the 15th indiction year at Oxyrhynchos, probably AD 356-357. It lists contributions of clothing, gold for mules and recruits, freight charges, payments for the primipilus, ammoniac, alum, and animals for transport.
The gramma is a small gold weight (a scruple, 1/24 of a solidus); the primipilus levy supported the official responsible for army supplies. The fraction attached to the linen tunic and some quantities in damaged lines are uncertain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
