Expense report of komarchs submitted by order of the prefect Culcianus TM 16091Hermopolis305 (?)

Report submitted by two village headmen (komarchs) named Aurelius to an official named Aurelius, presenting the village's expense accounts as ordered by the prefect Clodius Culcianus. The surviving entries record costs for papyrus and writing fees connected with workmen sent to Babylon and to Memphis. It comes from the Hermopolite area and probably dates to about AD 305.

In English machine translation

Much of the heading and the entries is restored. 'Grapta' (here 'writing fees') denotes charges for drawing up documents; Babylon is the fortress near modern Cairo, not Mesopotamia.
