A fragmentary list of trades, each followed by a figure: needle-makers, strainer-makers, measure-makers, wool-beaters, plasterers, knife-makers and probably water-carriers. It may record numbers of workers or sums owed by each trade. It dates to the second half of the 2nd century AD.

The figures may be counts of workers or payments, perhaps a trade tax; the fraction 3 1/2 against the plasterers suggests money rather than a headcount. The 'water-carriers' entry is only partly preserved and its reading is uncertain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as List of Workers (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
