A fragmentary list of building works and materials, giving measurements in cubic cubits and quantities of stone, columns, brick, lime, gypsum, glue, iron and timber. It mentions a double colonnade, the gateway of an Apis temple (Apideion), stone from Akoris, and a great three-storey praetorium. Third century AD, probably from the Oxyrhynchite or Memphite nome.

The Apideion and the quarry source Akoris suggest a public building programme; the provenance is uncertain. 'Wagon-load' and 'porter-load' render terms classifying stones by how they were transported.
