Fragment of a land register from the Herakleopolite nome, second half of the 2nd century BC, listing plots of cleruchic land held by guards and others, with their cultivators and the areas sown with wheat, barley, lentils and arakos, plus dry land and canals. It also records royal land and land of the queen and the king's son.

Arakos is a leguminous fodder crop (a kind of vetch) with no exact English equivalent. Several figures, especially in the royal land line, are unclear and some totals do not add up in the surviving text.
