A fragmentary land survey record listing plots belonging to a pittakion (a land allotment unit), with their former holders, locations and areas in arouras. It distinguishes royal land and revenue land in the villages of Theadelphia, Kerebin and Euhemeria, totalling about 83 1/2 arouras. It dates to the 2nd century AD, from Theadelphia in the Arsinoite nome.

A pittakion was a parcel or register unit of land; 'revenue land' (prosodou ge) was confiscated land administered by the state. The fraction in the total and the figure 64 after it are uncertain in reading.
