A short ostracon account from Trimithis in the Great Oasis, consisting of entries with the abbreviation 'lith' followed by figures. The catalogue identifies it as an account of cotton.

In English machine translation

lith(?) 4, 15, 570 lith(?) 3, 10, 30, 90 lith(?) 1/2, 3, 15, 180; total lith(?) 1 2/3 lith(?) 45, 180, 90

The abbreviation 'lith' probably refers to litrai (pounds) or a related unit; the meaning of the figures is uncertain. The symbols read as fractions (1/2, 2/3) are interpretations of special signs.
