A declaration to Aurelius Agathos Daimon, royal scribe of the Oxyrhynchite nome, by two or more brothers acting through their father, reporting land they hold that was not reached by the Nile flood. Made under orders of the official in charge of land inspections, it lists plots in old cleruchic allotments registered in various names, with their shares and areas.

In English machine translation

To Aurelius Agathos Daimon, royal scribe of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelii […] and Eleusinios […], through their father Aurelius […]nos, and however he is styled. In accordance with the orders of Aurelius Antoninus, vir egregius, in charge of the inspections, we declare the land which we hold as unflooded […] […] […] from the allotment of Euthykles together with […] and of Neikon, in the name of Onnophris son of Teos son of […]nis, of 1-artaba land, out of […] arouras unflooded, our half share, […] aroura(s) […]; and in the name of Apollonia also called Asklatarion […] of 1-artaba land, out of 10 arouras, our two-thirds share, unflooded, 6 2/3 arouras; and from the same allotment in the name of Neph[…], of 1-artaba land, unflooded, 12 arouras; and […] in the name of the heirs of Isidoros son of […]nios, of 1-artaba land, unflooded […]

"Unflooded" (abrochos) land was declared so that it could be assessed for tax relief; "1-artaba land" refers to land taxed at one artaba of wheat per aroura. "Kleros" is a cleruchic allotment named after its original Ptolemaic holder.
