A fragmentary register from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, 2nd century AD, listing individuals such as Menches, Sotas and Menches son of Petalos with references to hamlets (epoikia), sheet numbers of a roll, year 19, and sums in drachmas. It appears to record persons liable to payments connected with property in these hamlets.

The references to numbered sheets (kollemata) suggest entries copied from an official roll of documents. Several abbreviations (such as δηλ, κλη, διαπ) are uncertain and their renderings are tentative.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Liste von Steuerpflichtigen (?), die in ἐποίκια Grundbesitz (?) haben). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
