Fragment of an account of wheat recorded on an ostracon, listing quantities in artabas with a remainder and a total, some apparently assigned to individuals such as a builder. It dates to the 3rd century AD.
Many fractions and names are uncertain readings; the word read as 'builder' (oikod-) appears once deleted and once rewritten. The artaba was the standard Egyptian dry measure for grain.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Conto in grano). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
