A short register from Thebes listing five men in dekanies (administrative groups) 31 to 35, recorded through Harsiesis son of Kales. For each man it notes the number of months paid or credited and the months still outstanding, adding up to 12 in each case. It dates to the 2nd century AD.
A dekania was a subdivision of a town quarter used for tax collection; the months probably refer to monthly instalments of a tax, with paid and remaining months totalling a year. The abbreviation for 'dekanies' is expanded by the editor.
