A fragmentary ostracon account from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, listing several personal names each followed by a small number, apparently of items such as sides of meat. The beginning is lost.

In English machine translation

[… ? lines lost …] [… 1 line lost …] Ant(…), sides(?) 4 Daphnos 2 Chynon 1 Euplous 3 Libykos 3 … 3

The abbreviation read as pleura ("sides", ribs) probably refers to portions of meat, but the sense is uncertain. The names Libykos and Euplous could also be ethnic or descriptive designations.

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