Fragment of a land-tax account from the Arsinoite nome listing landholders, several of them former town magistrates (exegetes, prytanis, agoranomoi), with their vineyard holdings in arouras and the taxes owed, such as the naubion, the eighth-tax and the geometria. It dates from the early 3rd century AD.

The abbreviation εἰδ(ῶν) is uncertain in meaning; it may refer to a category of charges or payments on the land. The naubion and geometria were taxes on land, especially vineyards and orchards.
