An account of grain (in artabas) owed or paid by a series of estates, many belonging to high-ranking landowners, with each amount roughly half of a base figure, handled through the count Palos son of Ammonios. It probably dates to the 6th century AD and comes from the Hermopolite nome.

"Ktesis" denotes a landed estate and "apoktesis" a former estate; "hekatostai" (hundredths) are surcharges. The abbreviation "beik(esimou)" is understood as a vicesimal (one-twentieth) charge, but this is uncertain.
