Two fragments of a land register or account from Herakleopolis, listing landholders with their plots and acreages. Entries name Soterichos son of Soterichos, royal scribe of the Saite nome, and Nemesion son of Herakleides, a former gymnasiarch, whose orchard land converted to vineyard incurred a penalty charge.

In English machine translation

[Fragment A] […] of the metropolis within the wall […] Soterichos son of Soterichos, royal scribe of the Saite nome, of his own property, 4 1/2 1/16 arouras […] […] [Fragment B] […] Nemesion son of Herakleides, former gymnasiarch and president (?) […] of Herakleopolis, from an orchard from the kleros of Aristoneikos, for the planting of a vineyard […] 1 1/2 arouras, of the penalty at the rate per aroura of 1042 (?) […] […]

A kleros was an allotment of land originally granted to a military settler and named after him. The figure for the penalty rate per aroura (Αμβ) is uncertain in reading and value.
