Fragment of a land register from the Herakleopolite nome, second half of the 2nd century BC. It lists plots by holder (including cleruchs and a phylakites), cultivators, crops sown (wheat, arakos, flax), and areas of dry unsown land, with totals for cleruchic and royal land.
Figures are presumably in arouras. Arakos is a leguminous fodder crop (a vetch); 'dry land' (chersos) means land left uncultivated or unwatered.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Landregister). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
