Fragment of a land register from the Herakleopolite nome, second half of the 2nd century BC. It lists plots held by guards (phylakitai), with their cultivators, the crops sown (wheat or arakos, a legume) and areas in arouras, including an entry for sacred land at Mouchinbitiches.

Phylakitai were police guards holding allotments of land; arakos is a leguminous fodder crop, often rendered as chickling vetch. The figures in the upper part are of uncertain meaning because the lines are broken.
