A register of men proposed for compulsory public offices (liturgies), recording for each his parentage, age, past and present posts, and the assessed value of his property (poros) in building plots and farmland. It dates to the 2nd century AD.
Poros is the declared property value that qualified a man for liturgical service. Some totals do not match the listed items exactly (e.g. 300 + 2,000 given as 5,000), perhaps reflecting rounding or scribal error.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Zur Berechnung des πόρος). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
