In English machine translation

… … through Psais … through Psais son of Pekysis […] through …[…] 4 bundles [… ? lines lost …]

The word translated "bundles" (desmai) refers to bundles of hay or fodder, which is why the record identifies this as an account of hay.

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