A fragmentary account listing payments in drachmas, obols and chalkoi credited to named individuals, with subtotals per name and per village. Among those listed are an Alexandrian, a former gymnasiarch of Arsinoe and a cavalryman; it comes from the Arsinoite nome, probably early 3rd century AD.

The purpose of the payments (perhaps taxes or rents on land held by named owners) is not stated in the surviving text. Headings 'of the name' likely refer to accounts held in a person's name.
