Fragment of a land and grain register from the Arsinoite nome, listing individuals (some identified by trade or former municipal office, such as exegetes, kosmetes, agoranomos and high priest) with areas in arouras and amounts of wheat in artabas. It dates to the 2nd or 3rd century AD.

The titles exegetes, kosmetes and agoranomos were municipal magistracies held by the urban elite; the participles indicate the men had already held these offices. The fraction read as 1/8 in the line with 4 arouras is uncertain.
