Fragment of an ostracon account recording quantities, apparently of jars (knidia), and small money sums in drachmas, obols and chalkoi, including a payment to someone named Herakles. It dates to the 3rd century AD.

In English machine translation

[…] […] Aur[…] (of which) 1 1/2 skeue(?) […] of which 36 knidia […] another(?) to Herakles 1 drachma 1 obol, remainder 1 obol […] […] 1 obol, 16 chalkoi […] […]

Knidia are wine jars of Knidian type, used as a unit of measure. The abbreviation read here as 'skeue' (vessels) is uncertain, and the readings of several money signs are doubtful.

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.
