Fragment of a land register from the Herakleopolite nome, second half of the 2nd century BC. It lists plots held by guards (phylakitai), seven-aroura holders and five-aroura machimoi, with their cultivators and the crops sown, mostly olyra and hay.
Machimoi were native Egyptian soldiers holding small military allotments (here of five arouras); olyra is an emmer-type grain. Numbers in column i are probably arouras of holdings.
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.
