Fragmentary household account recording daily issues of a liquid, probably oil, in choes and kotylai, including oil for anointing Stachys and for bronze vessels, issues made in the presence of Hermon and Ariston, some textiles, and money payments in drachmas. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC.
The liquid is not named in the surviving text; oil is inferred from the mention of ointment. The chous and kotyle are Greek liquid measures (1 chous = 12 kotylai).
