An account on the back of a papyrus bearing a zodiac drawing. The first column lists money sums in drachmas; the second records loads (probably of hay) credited to Hestiaios, Diogenes and Maeistes over days of the month Epeiph in year 17. It comes from the Herakleopolite nome.

The abbreviation 'kom' is taken by the museum as loads of hay; its exact meaning is uncertain. The day '32' is impossible for an Egyptian month and may be a misreading or scribal slip; the column totals do not exactly match the entries as read.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Der Berliner Tierkreis - ein Horoskop in graphischer Gestalt?). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
