Fragment of a list naming village assistants (boethoi), each identified with the village or district they served, from the Herakleopolite nome in the 5th or 6th century AD. Only three entries survive.
A boethos ("helper") was a minor local official or agent, often acting on behalf of tax collectors; the place names after the title are uncertain readings.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Village βοηθοί). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
