Fragment of an account listing calves (young cattle) by age and size with their values in drachmas, totalling 11 animals worth 720 silver drachmas. It belongs to the Zenon archive from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, probably 240-239 BC.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] Total 14[…] drachmas […] and on the last […] large […] six-year-olds and seven-year-olds, 5, at […] drachmas […] and smaller ones, 3, whose valuation is 116 drachmas, 80 drachmas Total, all the calves: 11 Total in silver: 720 drachmas

The Greek word translated 'calves' (moschoi) here includes animals six and seven years old, so it refers to young cattle broadly; 'valuation' renders epigraphe, an assessed or declared value.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Account of calves). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
