Fragment of a temple inventory from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum, 2nd century AD, listing cult objects such as gilded wooden shrines, bronze figures, incense-burners and a lamp-stand. It mentions a sealed shrine of Soknopaios in the metropolis (Arsinoe) and a temple of Isis Nephremmis, followed by references to scrutinized priests.

Much of the text is restored from parallel temple inventories of Soknopaiou Nesos. 'Scrutinized' (epikekrimenoi) refers to priests officially examined and approved.
