Fragment of a register of land taxes in wheat, listing landholders (mostly katoikoi, settler-landholders, and holders of assigned land) with their acreage in arouras, the wheat due in artabas, and additional surcharges. It probably comes from the Arsinoite nome in the 3rd century AD.
Epibole refers to land compulsorily assigned for cultivation; prosmetroumena are supplementary measures charged on top of the basic wheat tax. Several fractions are expressed in unusual notations and their reading is uncertain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
