A small fragment from the verso of a papyrus from Memphis, dating to the 3rd century AD, apparently a land account or register. It mentions an eastern boundary, a plot or estate, 5 arouras of land and a remaining balance of 297 drachmas 4 obols.

In English machine translation

[verso] […] … […] […] and of the east […] […] 368 1/4 (?) […] […] at the estate (?) …[…] […] 5 arouras, remainder 297 drachmas 4 obols […] [… lines lost …]

The reading of the figure in line 3 (368 and a possible fraction) is uncertain. 'Of the east' (apeliotes) probably belongs to a description of a plot's boundaries.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
