A register of monthly payments in kind, recording for several named individuals the dates (by Egyptian month and day) and amounts in artabas of grain delivered, often through intermediaries such as a nomarch, a checking clerk and an overseer. It dates to the 2nd century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome.
The short letter groups preceding many entries (e.g. δη, γη, βη, αυ) are of uncertain meaning; they are rendered tentatively as fractions and may be sigla or numerical markers instead. The final lines consist of unreadable numerical sequences.
