Fragment of a tax list from Oxyrhynchus recording landholders, including officials, beneficiarii, former praepositi and women, with the area of land each held in arouras and a sum of money in myriads of denarii.
Sums reckoned in myriads (units of 10,000) of denarii point to the inflation of the 4th century AD. A kephalaiotes was a tax collector or head of a guild responsible for collecting dues.
