The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

A fragmentary account listing landholders, the area of land each held in arouras, and the amount of wheat in artabas charged on it, probably as land tax or rent. Holders include individuals acting through their children, guards, and a veteran acting through his wife. It probably dates to the 1st century AD.

The rate is roughly 1 1/5 artabas of wheat per aroura, suggesting a regular land tax or rent assessment. 'Magdola' is an uncertain expansion of an abbreviated word.
