A fragmentary inventory of personal effects, listing clothing, textiles and household furniture with their values in denarii. It comes from Dura-Europos on the Euphrates and dates to about AD 240-250.

In English machine translation

[…] [a] single-fleeced (garment?) […] a single-fleeced (garment), plain […] new white tunics […] [another] purple […] […] 32 denarii; two baskets, […] denarii; […] one, 20 denarii; one linen dalmatic, 32 denarii; one cross-striped (garment?) of seven hundred (threads?), 50 denarii; 3 headbands (mitrai), 50 denarii; two cushions, with […] stuffing (of wool flock), one, 100 denarii; a couch(?) […] […] one, 100 denarii; one stool, 47 denarii; […] one rug (sisyra), 75 denarii.

The text is from Dura-Europos in Syria, not Egypt. Several garment terms (monomallon, epikarsion, dalmatic, sisyra) are technical names with no exact English equivalent.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Inventory of Personal Effects). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
