An account listing, by village, hamlet and waterwheel estate, numbers of persons ("names") and the sums in gold solidi assessed or paid at rates of 1, 1/2 and 1/3 solidus each. It comes from the Hermopolite nome in the mid-7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[1] Of the hamlet Elas, from 12 names: from 4 names at 1 solidus, 4 solidi likewise from 4 names at 1/2 solidus, 2 solidi likewise from 4 names at 1/3 solidus, 1 1/3 solidi total, 7 1/3 solidi Village of Sinalais, 92 names total, 180 names for the village from 60 names at 1 solidus, 60 solidi likewise from 60 names at 1/2 solidus, 30 solidi likewise from 60 names at 1/3 solidus, 20 solidi total, 110 solidi for the village Of the hamlet Athele, from 15 names at 1/3 solidus, 5 solidi and for the hamlet Hebas, from 24 names: from 8 names at 1 solidus, 8 solidi likewise from 8 names at 1/2 solidus, 4 solidi [likewise from 8 names at 1/3 solidus, 2 2/3 solidi] [total, 14 2/3 solidi] [2] For the waterwheels (?) of Banos and Pmanroou, from 6 names: from 2 names at 1 solidus, 2 solidi likewise from 2 names at 1/2 solidus, 1 solidus likewise from 2 names at 1/3 solidus, 2/3 solidus total, 3 2/3 solidi for the same waterwheels (?) Of the waterwheels (?) of Antinoos, from 1 name: from 1 name, 1/2 solidus Of the waterwheels (?) of Chaoites, from 2 names: from 1 name at 1 solidus, 1 solidus likewise from 1 name at 1/2 solidus, 1/2 solidus total, [1 1/2 solidi] Of the hamlet Palladiou, from 15 names: from 5 names at 1 solidus, [5] solidi likewise from 5 names at 1/2 solidus, 2 1/2 solidi likewise from 5 names at 1/3 solidus, 1 2/3 solidi total, 9 1/6 solidi

Greek organa here probably means irrigation installations or waterwheel estates. Some arithmetic does not match (e.g. Sinalais: 92 names but 180 totalled; Palladiou total written as 9 1/6 rather than 9 1/6 of the sum 9 1/6 vs 9 1/6), so figures are given as written; the catalogue describes the list as payments to workers, though it may record assessments.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Abrechnungsliste über Zahlungen an Arbeiter). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
