A register of individual liabilities for military levies: the recruit tax, the levy for mules (burdones) and the contribution for the primipilus, with each person's share expressed in fractional 'grammata' or in solidi. It dates to the second half of the 4th century AD and probably comes from the Hermopolite nome.

The short initial abbreviations (Erm, Eu, Ze, Her) are probably names of localities or tax districts and are left unexpanded. The 'gramma' was a fractional unit of assessment, and the large solidus figures for the primipilus may actually be sums in another unit or reckoning.
