Fragment of a land and tax register from the Arsinoite nome, early 3rd century AD, listing small plots and the money payments due on them with surcharges and exchange fees. It refers to unflooded land, reed-land, and a land survey of year 3 conducted under an official named Aurelius.
Prosdiagraphomena were surcharges added to tax payments and the kollybos was a fee for exchanging coin; 'sealed' (sphragis) seems to mark plots in a land inspection. The reading of the line with plot numbers is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Frammento di registri). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
