A small fragment of a document describing a plot of land by its neighbours, mentioning private land to the north, catoecic arouras and someone named Nemesi[…] to the south. It dates to the first half of the 3rd century AD and comes from the Arsinoite or Herakleopolite nome.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] of the same name […] […] to the north private land […] […] of catoecic arouras […] […] but now […] […] to the south Nemesi[…] […] […] draining (?) […] […] of the […] […] […]

The listing of neighbours on each side is typical of land sales, leases or registrations, but too little survives to identify the document type. Catoecic land was land originally allotted to settler-soldiers, later held privately with special status.

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.
