A small fragment of a Greek papyrus, probably from the Zenon archive, of which only scattered phrases survive, including a mention of 'symbola' (tokens or receipts). It dates to the middle of the 3rd century BC.

In English machine translation

and he has receipts (?) […] ⟦[…] I uncovered (?) […]⟧ to him who came […] to be present (?) and […] […] following […] […]

The Greek word symbola can mean receipts, tokens or contracts, so its sense here is uncertain. The second line was deleted by the scribe.

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.
