Topographical description of land plots from the Sokrates archive TM 397529Karanis (Arsinoites, Ägypten)

A fragmentary topographical description of land plots near Karanis in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, part of the archive of the tax collector Sokrates. It lists a vineyard of Herodes, areas in arouras, neighbouring features such as a canal, and mentions an interpreter and the secretary of the tax collectors.

In English machine translation

The word read as 'silourophag-' seems to refer to catfish-eaters, perhaps part of a local place name for a drainage outlet. The fraction in the deducted area is uncertain because the edition reads only 'α δ'.
