Year 19, Phaophi 24: 98 donkeys, 294 artabas of wheat, counted together, of which the details are: from Bichis, 9 donkeys Testys, 10 donkeys Terythis, 12 donkeys Apollon, 4 donkeys […] [column 2] Terythis, 12 donkeys Apollon, 4 Peeienpasei, 10 Perepnouis, 20 Psychis, 17 Kynon, 15. 27th, likewise, 94 donkeys, 282 artabas of wheat, counted together, of which the details are: Bichis, 9 donkeys Testys, 10 donkeys Terythis, 11 Apollon, 4 Peeienpasei, 10 Perepnouis, 20 […] [column 3] Psychis, 17 donkeys Kynon, 15 donkeys.

Remainder: 3,712 1/3 1/12 artabas of wheat. […] for harbour guarding, of these […] […]

The donkeys appear to carry 3 artabas each (98 donkeys, 294 artabas). The names listed in the details seem to be places of origin of the donkey drivers or animals, mostly in the Kynopolite nome.
