A small fragment of an account of sums of money, with entries in drachmas, obols and chalkoi, including a sum for the month Choiak and an amount still owed. It belongs to the Zenon archive and was written at Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome around the middle of the 3rd century BC.

In English machine translation

[recto] [… ? lines lost …] […] […] […] 4, total 2 obols, 1 chalkous […] [verso] [… ? lines lost …] […] drachmas […] […] Choiak, 9 (?) drachmas […] […] owing in addition […] […] 80 (?) drachmas […]

The numerals after the drachma signs are only partly preserved, so the figures 9 and 80 are uncertain. A chalkous was a small bronze fraction of an obol.
