A register of land taxes in wheat from the Arsinoite nome, listing individual taxpayers of Theadelphia, the category of land they held (catoecic, epibole, sacred land) and the wheat owed with additional surcharges. It probably dates to the late 2nd century AD.
The prosmetroumena were supplementary charges levied on top of the basic grain tax. Epibole land was land compulsorily assigned to cultivators, and the Auxisporeios 'also called' Eusebeios is an Alexandrian-style tribal designation.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Register of Land Taxes). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
