Fragment of a land register or account from Memphis, 3rd century AD, listing plots measured in arouras, some under sowing and some private land. It mentions Philon the village scribe, Nikanor the gymnasiarch, and a plot registered in the name of Tasaphthis daughter of Psenanoupis.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] under the sowing [...] 6 arouras [...] [...] 9 arouras, private [...] [...] 1/2 aroura, [...] arouras [...] [...] [...] 300 (?) arouras [...] of threshing-floor land (?) 1 aroura, of Philon the village scribe [...] through [...] of Nikanor the gymnasiarch [...] according to the [...] portion (meris) 6 arouras [...] in the name of Tasaphthis daughter of Psenanoupis [...] year 5, 16 arouras [...]this son of Thoteus [...] [...]

Many figures and words are abbreviated or garbled in the edition, so the readings of numbers and terms such as 'threshing-floor land' are uncertain. The aroura is an Egyptian land measure of about 0.68 acres.
