An account of the wine yield of two vineyard estates, those of Papnouthios and Phibios, listing jars (kados) of wine assigned to the landowner and deducted for fees, staff such as a doorkeeper, carpenter and notary, vintage costs and transport. It comes from the Hermopolite nome, late 5th or 6th century AD. The first column was struck through by the scribe.

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