Fragment of an account listing camel-loads, probably of hay or fodder, delivered to a hay-store and a stable, with payments in gold solidi, one made through the camel-driver Asoios and one for the house of a speculator (courier official). It dates to the second half of the 6th century AD and probably comes from the Oxyrhynchite nome.

Naubia were units of earthwork volume; their sense here is unclear. The fractions after the solidus amounts are read as carats deducted, but the figures are uncertain.
