Fragment of an agricultural account recording earthwork on plots of land, including heaping up and blocking with earth, water supply to fields, and the number of workers employed in the months Epeiph and Mesore. It mentions an estate and the holding of Dromon and (probably) Potamon.

In English machine translation

[recto] [… ? lines lost …] […] … […] […] 2 (?) […] … the level (?) in year 28 […] […] of plots of land. … […] […] they are heaping up earth and blocking [the channels (?)] […] […] … to the north of the estate of Pera… […] […] the water for the plots of land there […] […] … Epeiph, Mesore […] […] from the holding of Dromon and [Potamon] […] […] workers 7; (day) 28, workers 11 […] […] likewise Epeiph, Mesore […]

The reading 'ision' is obscure; it may refer to a levelling of land. The name Potamon in the holding's designation is restored.
