A fragmentary list of men from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Fayum, registered for the poll tax and apparently assigned to work on the dykes. It names about two dozen villagers with their fathers, and notes one substitute.

The phrase rendered "the one called" (ho dia logon) is uncertain in meaning here; it may mark an alias or a person acting through an account. Dyke work (chomata) was compulsory labour owed by registered men.
