A short ostracon account recording areas of land in arouras, apparently land registered or assessed for taxation, with fractional measurements. It dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

Assessed: 2 1/8 1/16 1/32 arouras 1 1/4 1/16 1/32 aroura(s) 1508 (?) … Total(?): 3 1/2 1/8 1/16 1/64 arouras

The abbreviation epigraphomenai refers to land 'assessed' or registered for charges, a technical term in land administration. The third line (αφη, possibly the number 1508) is unclear, and the final figure does not exactly equal the sum of the first two.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of Land). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
