A small fragment of an account or memorandum recording expenditure for the month of Hathyr and the epagomenal days of a regnal year 34, with an entry of 1 1/2 artabas of barley on Hathyr 2. It belongs to the Zenon archive group of London papyri, from the Ptolemaic period.

In English machine translation

[…] the expenditure for Hathyr, (and) for the 5 epagomenal days in year 34: Hathyr 2, barley 1 1/2 artabas […] having contracted (?) […] to have paid back […] […]

Year 34 is a regnal year, probably of Ptolemy II (around 252/251 BC) if the text belongs to the Zenon archive. The sense of the later lines, which mention someone who has contracted and repayment, is lost.

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