An ostracon account from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, listing small sums in denarii in one column and, in a second column, costs in drachmas for a sack, transport, small axes, bronze and a bronze vessel, totalling 180 drachmas.
The item names in column ii appear to have been struck through by the writer, perhaps marking the entries as settled. The listed items add up to 136 drachmas, not the stated total of 180, so some entries are probably lost above.
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.
