A fragmentary register of abstracts of contracts, each entry beginning with a person acknowledging an agreement, including farm work (watering, weeding until harvest), receipts and loans of grain in artabas. It dates to the 1st century AD and probably comes from the Arsinoite nome.
Such registers summarized contracts drawn up at a village record office. Epichyma is an extra measure added to grain repayments; 'κη' at the start of one line may be a numeral (28), possibly a day date.
