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.

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.
