Fragment of a tax list from the Hermopolite nome, mid-7th century AD. It records individuals, among them a shepherd and two brothers, with the areas of land in arouras on which they owe the tax contribution (synteleia) and rent (pakton), and on the back the sums in solidi, totalling 12 1/2 solidi.

Synteleia was a general tax contribution and pakton a fixed rent or tax payment on land; neither has an exact English equivalent. Several numerical sequences on the verso are uncertain in reading and interpretation.
