Part of a report on earthwork done on dykes near Oxyrhynchus, listing the volume of earth (in naubia) moved by a citizen and by villagers, with a breakdown of work in five-day periods over a month. It is dated Phamenoth 30 of the consulship and submitted by Aurelius Papnoutis, with Aurelius Hatres and Aurelius Horos, one writing for an illiterate colleague, around AD 336.

In English machine translation

[…] and on the dyke to the north of Xenarchos(?), naubia […] total as above, which were thrown up as follows: Citizen (?): Dionysios son of Hierakion, naubia […] and by the people of the same village for the poll (?) […] and for property, naubia [35] […] total as above, which were also completed as follows: from the 1st to the 5th, naubia 6; from the 16th to the 20th, naubia 6 from the 6th to the 10th, naubia 6; from the 21st to the 25th, naubia 6 from the 11th to the 15th, naubia 6; from the 26th to the 30th, naubia 5 In the aforementioned consulship, Phamenoth [30]. I, Aurelius Papnoutis, have submitted (this). I, Aurelius […] […] wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. I, Aurelius Hatres, have jointly submitted (this). I, Aurelius Horos, have jointly submitted (this).

The naubion was a unit of earth volume used to measure compulsory dyke and canal work. The abbreviation read as 'citizen' (polites) and the restoration 'poll' are uncertain.
