A private account from Soknopaiou Nesos in the Arsinoite nome, early 3rd century AD. The front records workers employed day by day in pulling hay on 3 arouras of jointly held land; the back lists small cash payments to individuals and tradesmen such as a tutor, vegetable seller, mender, carpenter and brickmaker.
