A small fragment of an administrative text, perhaps a land register, from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, dating to the 1st to 3rd century AD. Only scattered words survive, mentioning arouras of land, sowing, sums, the prefect and probably the Arsinoite nome.

The text's purpose is uncertain; a land register has been suggested because of the references to arouras and sown land. The word rendered 'prefect' (hegemon) refers to the Roman governor of Egypt.
