Note (general) Due to the size of this tax roll (P.Mich. IV/1, 225 + IV/2, 358), its content has been divided in the present database into several cards (one for each column).;The pattern of damage of the P.Cair. inv. JdE 57187 (right side of col. 161) and of P.Mich. inv. 4172, col. 162, is very similar and shows that these two successive sheets were not glued to each other at the time the damage occurred, if ever. (PH);Please note that on the photograph obtained from the Cairo Museum, the fragment on the left is the right part of P.Mich. inv. 4172, col. 162, while the fragment on the right is part of what was published as P.Mich. IV/2, 360 (right side of the 2nd column [l. 33-66] and left side of the 3rd column [l. 67-96])
