An inventory of provisions in store, listing jars of imported wines (Chian, Thasian, Rhodian and others), vinegar, Theangelan honey, honeycombs, dried figs from Rhodes and Kaunos, and various kinds of salted fish, some half-empty or spoiled. It belongs to the Zenon archive from Philadelphia in the Fayum, about 263-256 BC, and the stores probably belonged to the finance minister Apollonios.

Many terms are trade names of wines and fish preserves (e.g. chabitia, saperdai, kybia) whose exact meaning is uncertain. The stores may have been kept at Alexandria or carried upriver with Apollonios' party.
