Fragment of a land register from the Arsinoite nome listing property holders, mostly men named Heron, Herakles and Herakleides, with their holdings such as a palm grove, houses, public land and estate land in villages like Boubastos, Theadelphia and Ptolemais Drymou. One entry notes an inheritance by Tapasis from her brother Julianus and the treasury's prior claim on property to be sold.

The right half of every line is lost, so entries are incomplete. The Dionysodorian estate (ousia) was a former private estate that passed into imperial ownership.
