A fragmentary inventory of temple property, listing gilded wooden cult objects such as a statue of Hermes, a wooden dog and several shrines, one of them in a temple of Aphrodite. It probably comes from Bakchias in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 2nd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] A wooden Hermes, gilded […] a wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf, in which is a wooden dog, gilded […] […] a wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf, in which is […] gilded with gold leaf and having leaves […] […] a wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf, in which is […] gilded with gold leaf […] a wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf, in which is […] gilded with gold leaf; and in the temple of Aphrodite is […] a wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf […] […] gilded with gold leaf […] […] a small base (?) […]

Much of the repeated formula 'wooden shrine gilded with gold leaf' is restored by the editor. One catalogue record gives a Byzantine date, but the others agree on the 2nd century AD.

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