Fragment of an official account of wheat dues (phoroi) from the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, connected with Apollonios, former acting strategos, for year 25 of Commodus. It lists large quantities of wheat in artabas, including amounts declared as measured in Mesore.

The myriad figures are read as 81 myriads (810,000) plus 2,862 etc.; the first figure is 812,862 artabas. 'Phoroi' here denotes rents or dues in kind on land, not a general tax.
