In line 23 of the document listing names of taxpayers, the following heading occurs:
μερ(ί)δ(ος) τοῦ ἁγίου Ενωχ
‘Of the district of saint Enoch:’
It might be a coincidence that among the twenty men listed in that category three are called Enoch (lines 26, 27, and 31), like their district saint. Another Enoch (line 37) occurs among the group of men assenting to this tax register and its payments.
