A small fragment from Memphis, dated to the 3rd century AD, preserving names of people connected with land or payments, apparently under the state administration (dioikesis) and formerly belonging to earlier owners such as Heliodora and Nanion. It is probably part of a land register or account.

In English machine translation

[…] […] ma[…] […] from Chairemon […] […] of the administration (dioikesis), formerly of Heliodora, through her brother […] […] Artemidora and Demetrous through […] […] of Herakleides son of Harthotes, formerly of Nanion […] … basil(?) … […] […]

The abbreviation for 'formerly' typically marks the previous holder of a plot in land registers. Dioikesis refers to the state financial administration, here likely land under its control.
