Fragment of a list from the Hermopolite nome, AD 6th-7th century, naming men each followed by the number of paidaria (slaves or young dependants) and other household members attached to them, with running totals. The back preserves an entry of 25 solidi and 20 carats dated to the month Pachon.

The term paidarion can mean either a slave or a child; the catalogue interprets the list as one of slave owners. 'Betes' may be a further patronymic or a separate name.
