Memoranda kept by an official in the Thebaid, listing instructions received (with references to the sheets of a roll of copies) and the action he took on each: irrigation of land, payment of priestly allowances, sending clean grain, and sacrifices to the Nile. Late 2nd century AD.
The numbers refer to kollemata, the glued sheets of a roll of copied correspondence, used as file references. The priestly syntaxeis were state allowances paid to temples.
