The closing part of a land declaration made in the Roman census of the province of Arabia, in which the declarant swears by the emperor's fortune that he has registered his property honestly; it was written for him by Onainos son of Saadallos. A Greek translation of the Latin receipt note of the prefect Priscus follows, dated 25 April 127 at Rabbath Moab.
Found among the Judaean Desert documents (Nahal Hever), not in Egypt; it belongs to the provincial census of Arabia of AD 127. The term cheirochrestes refers to a person who wrote on behalf of someone else, and the prefect's note is marked as a translation from Latin.
