Fragment of a tax account from the Arsinoite nome (Fayum) of the 2nd century AD, listing sums collected in the 14th year and arrears from the 13th year. It mentions the pasture tax, revenues from taxes farmed out to contractors such as the fisheries of Drymoi, Tebetny and Kerkesis, and the dike tax.
