A fragmentary land survey from Ghoran in the Arsinoite nome (Fayum), 3rd century BC, recording plots east of a village held by named individuals, their areas in arouras, and the measurements of the land's sides in schoinia. It totals 1,800 arouras, of which 300 are deducted as slack land.

Chalasma appears to denote land deducted from the measured total, perhaps an allowance or unproductive part; the exact sense is uncertain. A word in line 5 is unread, so the location of the plot is unclear.

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