Fragmentary official record, probably concerning the registration or examination of slaves and property, mentioning a letter from Sarapion of Memphis, the property record office, and two slave women, Euodia and Thermouthis. It dates to the 2nd century AD, probably from the Memphite nome.

In English machine translation

The 'bibliotheke enkteseon' was the office registering privately owned property. The identification as a register of slaves is tentative.
