A private account of barley and wheat produced at several estate localities near Apollonopolis, with the allocations of each: to farmers, bakers, bread-making, camel feed, transport, a priest at Easter, and large amounts to one Epiphanios of the Agape. It belongs to the archive of an estate administration of the early Arab period.
