Fragment of a land register listing plots, measured in arouras with small fractions, and the names of holders, with a note about collecting an outstanding debt. It dates to the early 3rd century AD.
The fractional signs are read here as aroura fractions (1/2, 1/4, 1/32, 1/64, 1/128); 'Bakchides' may be a person or the village Bakchias area. The aroura is an Egyptian land measure of about 0.68 acre.
