Fragment of minutes of proceedings before the procurator Cassianus concerning land, apparently connected with a land inspection. It mentions 48 arouras, productive and unproductive land, a mother holding 7 1/2 arouras, and a demand for payment; it dates to the 3rd century AD.

The opening word katapatesis (literally "trampling") seems to be a technical term for a land survey or inspection, or for encroachment on land; its exact sense here is uncertain. The land terms translated "productive" and "unproductive" refer to land that does or does not yield a crop.
