Fragment of a Ptolemaic land register from the Herakleopolite nome listing areas of unproductive, sown, cleruchic and royal land in arouras. It names cultivators such as Gobis, Petesouchos, Inaros and Hasspheus and records the crops sown (wheat, hay, arakos), with a reference to year 30 of Euergetes.
