A fragmentary list of individuals with sums of money in talents, apparently recording tax payments, some marked as being for the poll-tax. It dates to the 4th century AD, a period of high inflation reflected in the sums counted in tens of thousands of talents.

The abbreviation 'kef' is taken here as kephalaion, poll-tax or capitation, but it could also mean 'principal' or 'total'. Numerals marked with a thousands sign (e.g. 4,000) are given as thousands of talents.
