Fragment of a list of Egyptian nomes (administrative districts), apparently with a number recorded against each, such as the Saite, Arabian, Phthemphouth, Heliopolite, Sebennyte, Neilopolite and Hypselite nomes. It dates to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[recto] […] […] […] sent (?) […] of the nomes written below […] and […] and […] of the Saite (nome) 1 […] Nesyt, of Arabia 1 […] […] 1, Phthemphouth 1, of the Heliopolite (nome) […] […] of the Sebennyte (nome), lower districts […] of the Neilopolite (nome) 5 […] Hypsele […] […] […] […] […] […]

The numbers after each nome name (1, 5) are probably counts of persons or items assigned to each district, but the purpose of the list is lost. Nesyt and Phthemphouth are names of Lower Egyptian nomes.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Nomes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
