An ostracon listing people, whose names are mostly lost, with amounts of land in arouras beside each. It probably comes from Karanis in the Fayum and dates to the 3rd century AD.
The aroura is the Egyptian land measure, about 0.68 acre (2,756 square metres). The fractions after the aroura figures are read as 1/16 and 1/4, following the usual notation for parts of an aroura.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of land). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
