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.

In English machine translation

[…] naubia (?) from the estate, without risk […] … Akat(…) through Asoios, camel-driver, 1 solidus less 4 1/2 (carats) […] 3, for the hay-store, 6 camel-loads ⟦7⟧ [… for] the hay-store 3 camel-loads, and for the stable [… for] the hay-store 6 camel-loads; 7 for the hay-store […] 3 camel-loads […] and for the stable 3 camel-loads [… for the] house of the speculator, 1 solidus less 5 1/4 (?) (carats), for the hay-store [… for the] stable […] camel-loads […] stable […] [… ? lines lost …]

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.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Verzeichnis eines Karawanenbesitzers (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
